The thrilling result pushed New Zealand into the semi-finals to face Pakistan. Sri Lanka, chasing New Zealand’s total, needed 10 runs from the last two balls of Dion Nash’s over. Asanka Gurusinha, who produced a magnificent century, smashed the first ball for six. But needing four off the final delivery, he managed only a single — leaving Sri Lanka agonizingly short. Gurusinha had earlier rescued Sri Lanka from 41/4, building a crucial 88-run partnership with Upul Chandana, keeping the chase alive till the very end. New Zealand's innings began slowly, but Blair Hartland Thomson injected momentum, racing to a fifty off just 41 balls. This match also marked international debuts for Heath Davis (NZ) and A.P. Weerakkody (SL). 🟢 Match Summary: • New Zealand: Set a competitive total • Sri Lanka: Fell short by 2 runs • Man of the Match: Asanka Gurusinha Relive this unforgettable last-over thriller from Sharjah 1994! #cricketmax #highlights #nzvssl #srilanka #newzealand
