in 20Twenty Cricket, New Zealand
In the Twenty-Twenty format, New Zealand is the same as in One Day Internationals. Their fielding is excellent, their strong point and they are very active on the field.
New Zealand has a couple of all-rounders who prove to be very helpful on the field. They know how to deal with tough situations and can bring the match on track when their performance is going on and when the other players are panicking.
In the last Twenty-Twenty match, they added players who were still recovering, as they had been injured previously. New Zealand was smart enough to put some players on hold as well, in case the present team members would not be fully fit to play the World Cup. Top ten fielders of New Zealand in T20 are:
1. LRPL Taylor
2. JDP Oram
3. BB McCullum
4. NL McCullum
5. MJ Guptill
6. DL Vettori
7. SB Styris
8. TG Southee
9. JEC Franklin
10. JD Ryder

Losing to Sri Lanka by 19 runs, Pakistan has to improvise some serious game plan in order to come out with flying colours against New Zealand, who are already on the top slot in Group F. The grave concern is that Pakistan has not secured any points in Super 8s. Today’s ‘do or die’ contest for Pakistan at the Oval will decide the fate whether Younus XI is packing their bags or staying back in the tournament. Abdul Razzaq has just joined the Pakistani squad.
Pakistan squad has replaced Yasir Arafat with Abdul Razzaq who is quite an experienced all-rounder and famous for his T20 game play. It is hoped that he will not let the team down and will certainly perform well with bat and ball.
Pakistan team comprises of Younus Khan the captain, Misbah-ul-Haq, Salman Butt are the top batsmen, Ahmed Shehzad, Iftikhar Anjum and Shahzaib Hasan are the new entrants. Kamran Akmal is the wicket keeper, Mohammad Aamer, the T20 World Cup 2009 debutante bowler, Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi both as spinners, Shoaib Malik and Abdul Razzak the all-rounders, Fawad Alam- the medium pacer, and the fast bowler duo, Umer Gul, and Sohail Tanvir.
New Zealand will tap the Oval with DL Vettori (Captain), IG Butler, JEC Franklin, BB McCullum (wk), PD McGlashan, KD Mills, IE O’Brien, BJ Diamanti, MJ Guptill, JDP Oram, AJ Redmond, NT BroomSB Styris, NL McCullum, LRPL Taylor.
