T20 World Cup 2026: Super Eights, Match 46, NZ vs SL – Top 3 player battles to watch out for
The match will be crucial in New Zealand’s semifinal chances, after their opening game in the Super 8 versus Pakistan was called off due to rain.
1. Mitchell Santner vs Kusal Mendis
The New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner still is one of the best spinners going around, especially in T20 format. But he has failed to live up to his reputation in this tournament so far, with only one wicket so far.
Sri Lanka’s in-form batter Kusal Mendis will pose a great challenge to Santner. The wicketkeeper batter has scored three fifty-plus scores so far. And after a failure against England, he will be eager to go out and help his team recover against the Kiwis.
