The crushing five-wicket victory on Thursday has positioned the Black Caps well, with Pakistan and Afghanistan now requiring miraculous wins to displace them from the semi-finals.<br \/>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had some tight games and some tight losses over the last few weeks, but certainly within the camp, there&#8217;s a lot of confidence in the type of cricket we play,&#8221; stated Ferguson after the match. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know that if we play the way we want to play, we&#8217;ll come out on the right side of the draw. We&#8217;ll see what happens in the last few games&#8230; hopefully, we&#8217;ll have a couple more pushes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson, who missed two of New Zealand&#8217;s previous defeats due to an Achilles injury, made a fiery return with figures of 2-35 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The bowlers played a crucial role in restricting Sri Lanka to 171, with <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/trent-boult\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" target=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trent Boult<\/a>, Tim Southee, Mitch Santner, and Rachin Ravindra contributing to the comprehensive bowling performance.<br \/>&#8220;Throughout the World Cup, the bowling attacks that have done well have passed the baton to the next bowler,&#8221; added Ferguson. &#8220;The more you build the pressure, eventually something will happen, and today, we got some treats for some really good bowling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on New Zealand&#8217;s journey in the tournament, Ferguson highlighted the importance of building pressure and acknowledged the success of Boult and Southee in taking early wickets.<br \/>New Zealand, having reached the final of the last two World Cups and beating India to reach the title-decider in 2019, are on track for another semi-final appearance. Ferguson expressed confidence in his fitness to contribute to the team&#8217;s success, noting that the injury had been just &#8220;niggly&#8221; enough to affect his bowling quota in previous matches but that hard work in the gym had paid off.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW\">\n<p class=\"efT4r\">ICC World Cup 2023: New Zealand beat Sri Lanka, are almost through to the semifinals<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Stoked to get out there and get through 10 overs today and get a couple of treats as well,&#8221; concluded the 32-year-old paceman. <br \/>The confirmation of New Zealand&#8217;s place in the semi-finals for the fourth straight World Cup is likely, setting the stage for an exciting clash against India.<br \/><span class=\"strong\">(With inputs from Reuters)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')<\/p>\n<p>      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }<\/p>\n<p>    }<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/icc-world-cup\/news\/theres-a-lot-of-confidence-new-zealand-ready-for-business-end-of-world-cup\/articleshow\/105109935.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] NEW DELHI: After breaking a four-match losing streak against Sri Lanka in their last round-robin clash, New Zealand&#8216;s paceman Lockie Ferguson expressed confidence as they likely head into a World Cup semi-final against India.
