15.1: Jaskarandeep Singh to Rachin Ravindra, FOUR! That will do nicely. New Zealand are through to the Super 8s. Jaskarandeep Singh takes pace off and goes into the surface. This sits up to be hit at waist height, around off. Ravindra waits on the back foot and smacks the pull all along the ground between deep mid-wicket and long on for a four. Rachin and Glenn exchange hugs, and it is all smiles in the Kiwi camp. New Zealand win by 8 wickets with 29 balls to spare.

However, he keeps his eyes on the ball and takes it on the second attempt while falling over. Yuvraj departs for a sensational 110 off 65.

Nicholas Kirton gets a bit too far across to play the scoop and fails to get his bat in line with the ball, getting rapped on the pads right in front of the stumps. There is a shout for LBW, and up goes the finger without hesitation. However, Kirton has taken the review but more in desperation. The replay shows there is a big gap between bat and ball, and Ball Tracking comes up with two reds, with the ball hitting the middle stump. Pitching did not matter here as the ball hit the pads on the full. The on-field decision stands, and Canada are 160/3 now.

17.6: Matt Henry to Yuvraj Samra, DROPPED AND FOUR! You don't see Kiwis put down catches very often, and this shows they are under pressure here. A low full toss, on middle, Yuvraj Samra lofts it down the ground but does not get the desired elevation and hits it towards long on. James Neesham is standing a few yards ahead of the ropes, moves to his right and tries to reverse cup it above his head, but the ball bursts through his hands and trickles to the fence for a boundary.
