Martin Guptill smote 80 off 48 balls as New Zealand beat Pakistan by 22 runs to become the first side to reach the World Twenty20 semi-finals. The opener scored 48 per cent of his runs through the mid-on region, striking 10 fours and three sixes, to set the Black Caps on course for 180-5.Sharjeel Khan produced a dazzling 47 off 25 balls in response but the chase fizzled out as spinners Mitchell Santner (2-29) and Ish Sodhi (1-25) grasped control, Shahid Afridis side closing on 158-5. Martin Guptill targets his favourite area - going straight against Pakistan Guptill, the third highest run-scorer in T20I cricket, opened his boundary count in glorious style, launching Mohammad Irfan down the ground for a straight six before plundering three fours off the next over, bowled by Mohammad Amir.The right-hander dominated an opening stand of 62 with Kane Williamson (17), who was rather subdued before he miscued a drive off Irfan to Afridi at cover.Colin Munro, likewise, failed to get going - his switch-hit picking out Sharjeel in the deep off Afridis bowling - and Guptill might have fallen on 49 but survived a close lbw shout from the same bowler.Reprieved, he reached his 10th T20I fifty off 33 balls and scored at two-a-ball thereafter before playing Mohammad Sami on, attempting to dab the ball past third man.Corey Anderson (21) fell displaying greater intent, mistiming a drive off Afridi to long-off, and Luke Ronchi steered Sami to point but Ross Taylor (36 not out off 23 balls) put New Zealand in the box-seat. Kane Williamson made 17 but failed to really get going Pakistans response was bullish - Sharjeel striking nine fours and a six as he and Ahmed Shehzad (30 off 32) racked up 65 off the first 5.3 overs.Khalid Latif, in danger of halting the flow, slogged Santner up in the air and Shehzad also fell to the left-arm spinner trying to force the rate.Fellow slow bowler Sodhi helped pile the pressure on Pakistan, picking up the key wicket of Afridi in the process - the skipper lofting the ball high to long-off where Anderson stretched to hold a stunning catch.With the required rate steadily mounting, Umar Akmal (24 off 26) and Shoaib Malik strived in vain to produce a grandstand finish but with no boundaries coming in the last 5.1 overs, New Zealand cantered home.Watch highlights of New Zealand against Pakistan on Sky Sports 2 from 7pm - then join us for England against Afghanistan live on the same channel from 9am on Wednesday.

Victor Lindelof Jersey . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Smeb wants to be the best in the world.He started off his campaign to challenge SK Telecom T1s Lee Faker Sang-hyeok as the best player in the world with a victory over wildcard Albus Nox Luna. The game wasnt as easy as it might have appeared on paper with the underdogs from Albus getting out to a lead early. But eventually, after stabilizing, the South Korean champion was able to take a decisive win.One player jumped out to him while training for the World Championships: the often overlooked top laner of Team SoloMid.Hauntzer, said Smeb when asked if a player or team surprised him while teams bootcamped for the tournament in South Korea. He showed up really well and was a tough opponent.When asked if he considered him a rival, Smeb replied with a smile, Yes.Smeb explained the Tigers hadnt played a professional game in a while so they came out rusty versus a spirited ANX. It took some time, but by the end, the Tigers resembled the team many believe will hoist the Summoners Cup in a months time.TSM is far above [the other western teams], said Smeb.The ROX top laaner was impressed by the North American champions play and thinks they have the best chance to go far in the tournament out of all the LCS clubs.ddddddddddddOn the topic of his goal to become the best in the world, Smeb is humble but determined to live up to the expectations thrown onto his shoulders. Anything but a Summoners Cup with his closest friends on the Tigers would be a failure after getting the runner-up spot last year.I see it as a chance to become the best player in the world, said Smeb. But it is [daunting]. I need to show I am the best player throughout the tournament with my play.Finally, in the battle for the title of best in the world, two men stand over everyone else: Smeb, and the man hes never beaten in a final, two-time Summoners Cup winner Faker.I think of Faker as an outstanding player that stands out, he said. I cant say Im his rival; [however] after this tournament with my play, I hope I can tell him I am.
