Will New Zealand be in Final of Champions Trophy 2009?

The match is going at this moment. New Zealand is batting at 106/3. So, you can easily understand they are on halfway of their innings. Earlier, Pakistan batted and scored 233/9 from their allotted 50 overs. It is not a lot of runs but New Zealand has already lost 3 wickets. My feeling is that they have the batting line up and today Pakistani bowlers do not look that much strong. Well, if the Kiwis go to the final then they will face Australia and it will be an interesting encounter. They are neighbors and they have healthy rivalry.

So, at this moment, it looks to me that New Zealand will go to the final of Champions Trophy 2009. If they go then people of South Asia will have nothing to see in the final match on this Monday. Sri Lanka and India are out from first round.
