India vs New Zealand match will be the first Super Eight match of these two teams in Twenty20 world cup 2007. India and New Zealand both are regarded as two cricket powers in the world. So, no doubt, it is a big match and there will huge pressure on the two teams.
However, ahead of the important match, New Zealand lost their last group match to Sri Lanka. New Zealand could not show any resistant against Sri Lanka. Specially, New Zealand bowlers were not impressive at all in the match. New Zealand captain Daniel Vettiori said that New Zealand would bounce back in the next match against India. He also said that Shane Bond, who could not impress against Sri Lanka, would play well against India.
Reuters reported:
"We've seen all the Indian players before so we have a fair idea what they're about. They still have good players and their opening bowlers are good operators, so we've got to lift our game," Vettori told reporters.
"But we saw how Sri Lanka attacked in the early overs and that gave them momentum for a pretty easy run chase, so we'll have to look at that for the game against India," he added.
New Zealand captain thinks that slow bowlers like himself, Scott Styris, Jeetan Patel and Craig McMillan will have lots of responsibility in the next match considering the nature of the wicket. So, it seems that Vettori has already started planning to stop the Indian batsmen.
