ICC T20 World Cup

Zimbabwe will have a lot to play for today when they take on New Zealand in their 2nd encounter of ICC World T20 campaign.

Zimbabwe had lost to Sri Lanka yesterday and somehow the rain added insult to their injury and today New Zealand can very easily put them in the grave when take on Taibu's team in Guyana. If Zimbabwe can beat New Zealand without rain affecting the match then Sri Lanka can have a tough time as the run-rate may play a big poker game to favor Zimbabwe.

New Zealand is surely the dominant team going into this match. They have defeated Lanka in tournament opener. Jesse Ryder is in a good form and he will surely look to exploit the Zimbabwe attack. The likes of Ross Taylor, Scott Styris and Jacob Oram are yet to score some big runs in this tournament and hope today they does it to entertain their fans. Wicket Keeper Brendon McCullum also needs runs to get his form back but it will be interesting to see how their opponents bowl at them.

The likes of Ray Price, Greg Lamb and Prosper Utseya had a decent match yesterday and I hope they can repeat the same performance today. But Zimbabwe batsmen’s will face an uphill task facing the Kiwi bowling attack as Shane Bond is in good form and Captain Daniel Vettori is also looking very dangerous.

It will be up to the likes of Hamilton Masakadza and co. to make the difference. The Zimbabwe batsmen have to do it for their team. The likes of Taibu, Charles Coventry, Brendon Taylor has a lot of talent and today is the day to unleash it. Andy Blignaut may play in today’s match. He is a good all-rounder and will be a big boost for his team.
