The Kiwi team is considered to be very heavy in this match. New Zealand had defeated India in their first practice match. His bowling was excellent in this match, as well as the batsmen showed a lot. In the second match though the West Indies batsmen blew up the Kiwi team.
New Zealand’s bowlers did not stop the West Indies from crossing 400. The batsmen did well though. Especially Captain Ken Williamson and Tom Blundle. There is no power hitter like the West Indies in Sri Lanka’s team and this is a relief for New Zealand. If Sri Lankan batting is seen, then he does not see any strong batting order.
Team captain Dimut Karunaratne has been sent to England by the team captain four years later. When Karunaratne was given command of the team, he played his last ODI four years ago. After this, he wore the Sri Lankan ODI team jersey in Scotland in May.
Whether Karunaratne can handle the weight of batting with captaincy or not, it will be known only after the World Cup. The team has experienced batsman like Angelo Mathews in batting but he has been struggling with form due to injury due to inside and outside. In batting, Lahiru Thirimane, Kaushal Mendis, Avishka Fernando, Dhananjay D Silva are some other names. Ticking to the Kiwi team’s swing will be a challenge for all of them.
There is a name like Lasith Malinga in bowling, but with age, the bowler has lost his torso. Although he did well in the Indian Premier League (IPL) but he was T20 and this ODI. Compared to Sri Lanka, the Kiwi team is ahead of them in every field. The main axis of batting is Captain Williamson. To support him, Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Connil Munro, Henry Nicholas, Ross Taylor They all want to play big innings.
Trent Bolt is the main weapon of the team in bowling. In England conditions, how dangerous they could be, they had told India only in practice match. Tim Southey, Colin de Grandhouse, Lucky Ferguson, Michele Santner and Ish Sodhi in the spin to accompany them.
