Sri Lanka won toss and field first in Colombo
T20 World Cup Super 8s, Group 2
New Zealand give themselves a fighting chance of reaching the semi-finals with a 61-run victory over Sri Lanka!
Who'd have thought they would claim such a convincing victory over Sri Lanka?
Dasun Shanaka's side crash out of the competition with a whimper, following Super 8s defeats to England and now New Zealand.
Wellalage c Ravindra b Phillips 29 (SL 105-8)
Dunith Wellalage is caught at deep forward square leg.
He tries to go big with a sweeping shot but is caught by Rachin Ravindra for 29 runs off 23 balls.
This game has been over for a long time now, but Wellalage not being able to see this one out is the latest in a long line of disappointments.
The home crowd have seen enough of this Super 8s encounter. They are emptying out of the stands, they want an early night!
Just four runs come off captain Mitch Santner's latest over with the ball in hand.
Sri Lanka finally bring up the 100!
It has taken them 18 overs to do it - but at least they have got there.
It looks like they are departing the T20 World Cup with a whimper though.
This is a bit more like it from Sri Lanka's batters.
Dunith Wellalage and Dushmantha Chameera have found a bit of rhythm in strike now, taking a further nine runs from the latest over.
They had given themselves a mountain to climb in the early stages of this innings and, despite some better batting, they still need 74 runs off these last three overs.
Dunith Wellalage absolutely wallops one towards deep backward square leg off the first leg of the 16th over - and it soars into the stands for Sri Lanka's first six of the innings.
They take 10 runs off Glenn Phillips' latest over, but their required run-rate has still surpassed the realms of 20 runs per over...
Mendis c Phillips b Santner 31 (Pak 77-7)
Kamindu Mendis is dispatched by New Zealand captain Mitch Santner!
I did say Sri Lanka needed to let rip now, but I didn't mean they needed to do it at the cost of another vital wicket.
Glenn Phillips takes his first catch of the match at deep forward square leg - and it's an important one!
Where do Sri Lanka go from here?
New Zealand move one step closer to victory thanks to yet more brilliant and concise bowling.
Spinner Glenn Phillips limits Sri Lanka to just four runs off his maiden over. Kamindu Mendis and Dunith Wellalage are doing what they to build up a partnership in strike, but they have to go at some point.
For me, it is now or never.
Dunith Wellalage manages to muscle one to the deep backward point boundary for a consolation four in that over.
Sri Lanka are 67-6.

This innings is going down the drain for Sri Lanka now.

Hemantha c Mitchell b Ravindra 3 (SL 59-6)
'Safe hands' from Mitchell as Hemantha is caught for three
Oh no, another wicket bites the dust!
Sri Lanka's Dushan Hemantha decides it is time to let one rip out towards long on, but Daryl Mitchell is there to cushion in the catch.
New Zealand are firmly on top here. They could see this victory out long before the 20-over mark.
Sri Lanka finally pass 50 runs!
They manage to find two boundaries off Cole McConchie's over through Kamindu Mendis.

What New Zealand can do here is improve their net run-rate immeasurably by bowling Sri Lanka out.
Dushan Hemantha comes in for Sri Lanka at eight.
He hits his first ball for a meagre single.
Let's see how these two settle in at the crease together...
How bad is this from Sri Lanka? Two stumpings in two legal deliveries!

Mathematically it's possible but realisitically they won't get anywhere near this total now.
Shanaka c Allen b Ravindra 3 (SL 46-5)
Ravindra takes his third wicket as Shanaka is caught for three
It goes from bad to worse for Sri Lanka as their captain falls for just three runs!
There was minimal thought-process behind Dasun Shanaka's uncontrolled swing at the ball - and it finds Finn Allen for an easy catch.
They are now 46-5 in a must-win game...
Sri Lanka will be bitterly disappointed with the first half of their innings at Premadasa Stadium.
Kamindu Mendis manages to find the fine leg boundary for a four as they take nine runs off the over.
They have built up just 44 runs from the opening 10 overs. New Zealand were 75-3 at this stage in their innings.

When you bat so poorly while chasing in your previuous match, why take that pressure again? Why would you win the toss and elect to bowl first? Just put runs on the board... put the pressure back on the opposition.
