Guyana: New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori elected to field against Zimbabwe in their Group B game of the ICC World T20 at the Providence Stadium on Tuesday. Zimbabwe have to win to keep themselves in afloat for the Super Eights stage. In case, New Zealand win today, they will go through along with Sri Lanka to the next stage. But if Zimbabwe win today, it will be a three-way tie and the two teams to make it to the Super Eights stage will be decided on the net run-rate.
After stunning Pakistan and Australia in the warm-up games, Zimbabwe got a shock in their opening match against Sri Lanka as the heavens conspired against them. In a rain-affected tie that was decided on the Duckworth/Lewis method, Zimbabwe lost by 14 runs on Monday.
In the first game of the tournament, New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by two wickets.
Teams:
New Zealand: Daniel Vettori (C), Brendon McCullum, Jesse Ryder, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Scott Styris, Gareth Hopkins, Jacob Oram, Nathan McCullum, Shane Bond, Tim Southee
Zimbabwe: Andrew Blignaut, Hamilton Masakadza, Tatenda Taibu, Craig Ervine, Elton Chigumbura, Charles Coventry, Greg Lamb, Alexander Cremer, Prosper Utseya, Ray Price, Timycen Maruma.
