Overview
Table toppers New Zealand will look to continue their fine form in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 when they take on Pakistan in a Group 2 encounter at Chandigarh on 22 March, Tuesday.
The only unbeaten team in Group 2, the Black Caps have surprised everyone with their tactical innovations and impressive cricket. Skipper Kane Williamson has taken a leaf out of Brendon McCullum’s book, promoting aggressive cricket while also trying to out-think opponents on the field.
No team would leave out its two best bowlers for an important international tournament such as this, but the Kiwis have had no hesitation in dropping Trent Boult and Tim Southee to the bench, while promoting spinners in their place.
The batsmen and bowlers have looked good with the bowling in particular stocked with options. One example is Mitchell McClenaghan’s man of the match performance in the last game. It is tough to predict the starting XI for this Kiwi side as they chop and change depending on the conditions, but may opt to bring back Nathan McCullum in place of pacer Adam Milne.
