Commentary
  • It will be New Zealand to bat first in the Super Over. The Sri Lanka players make their way out to the middle. Daryl Mitchell and James Neesham will open the innings for New Zealand. Maheesh Theekshana has been given the task of bowling the Super Over. Here we go... 
  • We are heading to a Super Over, folks! Unreal scenes at Eden Park! Ish Sodhi is pumped and so are the New Zealand fans. On the other hand, Sri Lanka are dejected but now need to focus on what's ahead for them.
