New Zealand and Pakistan have been confirmed as finalists of the tri-series. After the Blackcaps defeated Bangladesh by 48 runs today at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch.

Bangladesh ruled out of the race for the final after losing their first three games. Tomorrow’s encounter between Bangladesh and Pakistan will therefore be meaningless. New Zealand beat Pakistan by nine wickets on Tuesday. On Wednesday, they batted well again to set Bangladesh a target of 208, but the visitors only got to 160-7.

Captain Kane Williamson was given the day off as New Zealand, led by Tim Southee, repeated Sunday’s eight-wicket victory over Bangladesh to strengthen their World Cup chances.
