New Zealand is only non-Asian team to have featured in this edition of final four in World cup. But to get pass over Sri Lanka in the semi final they need some x-factor to go in there favor which will not only allow them to reach final but give them some hope of clinching the trophy on 2nd April 2011.
Sri Lanka has great bowling attack with L.Malinga, M.Muralitahran, A.Mendis and R.Herath in their armory. The main worries for Sri Lankans are there middle order which is yet to be tested in the tournament.
This is the pressure of Semi Final and whichever team able to cope with it will emerge out as winner. In the last edition of World Cup also Sri Lanka played New Zealand in the semi final where they have crushed the kiwis easily.
But for newzeland nothing to lose they can play their own game. I think they are able to cross over the hurdle with N.Mccallum and Vettori's spin attack and Jacob Oram's alround performance. Nothing much to say about Rose Taylor's, we have seen that attacking batting between pakistan.But the worries are B. Mccallum and Scott Styris they yet to come on form. If these two also come on form then i can assure that Newzealand will win over srilanka.
Here i need to mention one more thing about newzealnd' confidence level and their attacking fielding. Match against South Africa was a clear proof of that, can't even believe that such a team like south africa had lost to newzeland for 49 runs .
