The rain stayed away in Bengaluru and New Zealand chased down 172 in 23.2 overs to beat 1996 World Champions Sri Lanka.

These are highly improbable scenarios and effectively the Kiwis are through to a fifth consecutive World Cup Semi-final and will play India in Mumbai on November 15. 1996 World Cup-winning coach Dav Whatmore gives his verdict on why Pakistan missed out.
