Group 2
England (Q), 6 points, +1.096 NRR
After surviving some anxious moments in the group stage, England have hit their stride at the right time and have locked in top spot in Group 2 and a semi-final berth.
They opened their Super Eight campaign with a 51-run win over Sri Lanka in Kandy on Sunday, before victory over Pakistan at the same venue on Tuesday. Their heist to steal points off New Zealand in their final group game cemented their top-placed finish, and they’ll now play the second-place finisher in Group 1 for T20 World Cup Final tickets.
It was Will Jacks again to lift for England against the Black Caps, securing his fourth Player of the Match of the campaign, claiming two wickets, and played the finisher’s role with the bate to perfection, slamming four fours and a six for an unbeaten 32 off 18 balls.
