New Zealand have more than likely qualified for the semi-finals of the Cricket World Cup after beating Sri Lanka in Bengaluru on Thursday night.
After being sent in to bat, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 171 in the 47th over.
Trent Boult was back to his best picking up 3-37 in his ten overs.
New Zealand chased the total down in 23.2 overs, with opener Devon Conway making 45, and Rachin Ravindra 42.
The win makes it more-or-less impossible for Pakistan and Afghanistan to qualify due to the Black Caps superior net-run-rate.
It means New Zealand will play hosts India in Mumbai in the semifinal on Wednesday night.
Former Black Cap Peter McGlashan spoke to Corin Dann.
