Pak VS NZ World Cup tie tomorrow

Colombo: Pakistan will face New Zealand in their next World Cup group match between Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Kandy on Tuesday (tomorrow).
Pakistan lead the head-to-head record against New Zealand 51-34, and one match was tied and the two ended without result.
Pakistan and New Zealand have played seven matches in the World Championships and South Asians are 1.6 ahead of the Kiwis. The two teams played 27 matches in the
subcontinent, which has led Pakistan 20.7.
Pakistan beat New Zealand 3-2 in the ODI series shortly before the World Cup, and they will know each other's strengths and weaknesses well.
Pakistan lost their first World Cup Encounter in New Zealand in 1983, but has since won six consecutive matches, the last being in 1999 World Cup.
Pakistan was the bowling of their skins, with Shahid Afridi's leading wicket Talley in the tournament with 14 victims of the three matches. He is also fifth in the overall economy, with 2.60 runs more from his 28 overs so far.
With Misbah-ul-Haq (185 runs), Umar Akmal (129) and Yunus Khan (128) among the works in the Top 20 overall so far this World Cup, they are well-rounded side.
New Zealand blew hot and cold comprehensive 10 wicket victory against Kenya and Zimbabwe, but the seven wicket defeat to Australia. Their batting has been pretty inconsistent, and Martin Guptill (with 135 runs so far) and Brendon McCullum (118 works) will have to provide convincing of the opening.
Fast bowlers, particularly Tim Southee and Hamish Bennett, were among the wickets, with seven and six wickets respectively. Quite a few of the Kiwi bowlers were very economical. Jacob Oram (0,70 RPO) and Kyle Mills (2.90 RPO) have only played one match, while others like Scott Styris (3,25 RPO), Southee (3,43 RPO) and Daniel Vettori (3 , 47 RPO) strangled the opposition.
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium has not hosted any of the limited-overs match, but in a single test match which is played between Sri Lanka and West Indies, the match ended in a draw with the boring rain to spoil the game. However, six of the eight wickets to fall went to the counter if it is any indication of the nature of the field.
