New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner hailed his side’s recovery and disciplined bowling after a 61-run victory over Sri Lanka kept their Men’s T20 World Cup semi-final hopes alive, noting that a score upwards of 160 was not bad after the visitors bowlers squeezed them at the R Premadasa Stadium.

Santner and Cole McConchie steadied the innings through a record 84-run stand to take New Zealand to 168/7, after being reduced to 84/6. The spinners, led by Rachin Ravindra’s 4-27, dismantled Sri Lanka’s chase and keep them to 107/8 to get a resounding victory.
