Pakistan secured a narrow five-run victory over Sri Lanka in their Super 8s match but failed to advance to the semifinals due to net run-rate calculations. Sahibzada Farhan's record-breaking century powered Pakistan to 212-8, yet Sri Lanka's spirited chase to 207-6 ensured New Zealand progressed instead. The result leaves England, New Zealand, and South Africa in the last four, with India and West Indies vying for the final spot.
Sri Lanka's captain Dasun Shanaka issued an apology to fans following their team's performance in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. The side suffered a batting collapse in their match against New Zealand. Shanaka expressed regret for not meeting expectations.
