THE LOWDOWN

NEW ZEALAND

  • New Zealand were unable to build on their thumping 89-run triumph over reigning champions and host nation Australia as they second ‘Super 12’s’ fixture against Afghanistan was washed out this past Wednesday.
  • Following such a dominating performance against their near neighbours, New Zealand aren’t expected to change anything provided no late fitness problems occur and an unchanged starting line-up should be on the cards.

SRI LANKA

  • Frustration will like be the buzzword from within the Sri Lankan camp after they allowed the brutal hitting of Marcus Stoinis to take their most recent game against Australia away from them when it was firmly in the balance at one stage.
  • Sri Lanka have responded well adversity in the past, normally bouncing back quickly from a poor result in a major tournament and will need to do so again here, although the quality of their opponents cannot go unmentioned.

THE PREDICTION

It would be foolish to underestimate the Asia Cup winners and Sri Lanka’s bowling attack in particular will pose a stern test to New Zealand. However, this is an extremely impressive Black Caps outfit who boast strength-in-depth with the bat and all bases covered with the ball. Racking up 200 runs against Australia tells you all you needed to know about the form of New Zealand and the expectation is that their batting will prove superior to that of Sri Lanka, ultimately leading to victory for Kane Williamson’s men.
