New Zealand have already qualified for the quarter-finals, so a victory today cannot change much for them, except the position on the Group table. Sri Lanka will play their first match of the tournament outside of their island and will also try to claim a top-two place. This is going to be a very interesting match, that sees two powerful teams.
“We can go on to win tomorrow’s game and finish in the top two. That’s obviously our target and not who we are playing against in the quarter-finals,” said New Zealand’s Nathan McCullum.
