Pakistani skipper Shahid Afridi is the leading wicket taker in the world cup 2011 so far.
Tuesday, March 8, at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
Pakistan is the only team of the tournament with 100% win so far. Skipper Shahid
Afridiis the leading wicket taker with 14 wickets in three matches. Pakistan middle order
batsmen are also in good form as well as bowlers. But, openers need to perform well.
New Zealand team is lacking consistency in their performance, they thrashed minnows -
Kenya and Zimbabwe but Australians defeated them quiet easily. The only good news
for Kiwis is - their openers are in great nick, while Tim Southee is a bowler who could be a lethal weapon against Pakistan.
This is the first time Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is hosting an ODI, and here pitch is predicted to be fast and bouncy.
The day-night match will start at 09:00 GMT, 14:30 Local & India Times, 1:00 Bangladesh Time and 14:00 Pakistan Time.
