'It's out of our control' - Santner laments loss as New Zealand left waiting on semi-finals

New Zealand's hopes of advancing to the semi-finals in the ongoing cricket tournament took a hit following a narrow defeat to England. Captain Mitchell Santner expressed his disappointment, highlighting how 'little moments' in the match had significant repercussions on the team's fate. The Black Caps, once in a strong position, now find themselves relying on the outcomes of other matches to determine their progression. This unexpected turn of events underscores the unpredictability of the tournament and the high stakes involved. With just one match remaining, the team must not only focus on their own performance but also keep an eye on the results of their competitors. Santner's sentiments reflect the frustration shared by the team as they grapple with the reality that their destiny is no longer in their own hands. As the tournament reaches its climax, New Zealand's journey serves as a reminder of the fine margins that often dictate success or failure in international cricket.
