T20 WC: Rashid, Jacks, And Ahmed Help England Restrict New Zealand To 159/7
T20 World Cup: Adil Rashid, Will Jacks, and Rehan Ahmed picked two wickets each as England reduced New Zealand to 159/7 in 20 overs in the Group 2 Super 8s clash of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday.
Electing to bat first, New Zealand began their innings strongly. Jofra Archer delivered a solid first over but soon lost his control. Both Finn Allen and Tim Seifert settled in and countered some great bowling from Sam Curran and Liam Dawson. They put pressure on the English bowlers after the first over yielded no runs.
Starting with a zero run in their first over, New Zealand scored 54 runs in the next five overs to complete the mandatory batting Power-play. This was the first time in seven games that the English bowlers did not take a wicket during this period.
