NEW DELHI: Riding high on their outstanding form, New Zealand will rely on their formidable batting lineup to counter Bangladesh's skilled spin attack on the Chepauk pitch when the two sides face off on Friday. New Zealand will also aim to register another win and consolidate their position on top of the table.
The Kiwis (NRR: +1.958) have four points now, same as India (NRR: +1.5) and Pakistan (NRR: +0.92) but a better Net Run Rate has kept them ahead, and a win here will free them from the chasing pack for the time being.
