The Babar Azam-led side will be needing to do something unbelievable in their last league match against England to enter the semi-finals.
- 19:34 (IST)NZ vs SL Live Score: Run out!Mark Chapman has sacrificed his wicket for Daryl Mitchell. The southpaw mishit the ball which went towards the backward point region.
