Champions Trophy - New Zealand vs Sri Lanka at Mumbai (BS)
Back to the minefield once again for the match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka. New Zealand had an easy win over South Africa a few days ago thanks to a captain's knock by Stephen Fleming and a great all-round bowling effort. Sri Lanka'a 14-match winning streak ended at the hands of a depleted Pakistan.
This game will be played on the same pitch as the Australia vs West Indies game so we could see some reasonable scores unlike what we've seen for most of the tournament.
What can be certain is that this should be a an excellent match of cricket.
Game starts at 5pm AWST (2:30pm local time)
New Zealand XIV:
SP Fleming, NJ Astle, SE Bond, JEC Franklin, PG Fulton, MR Gillespie, BB McCullum, HJH Marshall, KD Mills, JDP Oram, JS Patel, SB Styris, DL Vettori, L Vincent (3 to be omitted)
Sri Lanka XIV:
DPMD Jayawardene, MS Atapattu, CM Bandara, TM Dilshan, CRD Fernando, ST Jayasuriya, CK Kapugedera, MF Maharoof, SL Malinga, M Muralitharan, PDRL Perera, KC Sangakkara, WU Tharanga, WPUJC Vaas (3 to be omitted)
