February 27, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Rehan Ahmed sparked England's four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the T20 World Cup Super Eights with a stunning six-ball cameo.

Ahmed dismissed two New Zealand batsmen and hit a massive six off Glenn Phillips, inspiring a 44-run partnership with Will Jacks to secure the win with three balls remaining.

Jacks and Ahmed were unbeaten on 32 and 19 respectively. Captain Harry Brook praised the 19-year-old's performance, though the squad has not yet decided if he will retain his place for the semifinal in Mumbai.
