Speaking at the toss, the Kiwi skipper said that they were aiming to score fast and end the innings with a staggering total on the board, to put the Sri Lankan batsmen under pressure right from the start of their chase. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 will also be taking heart from the fact that the Islanders have never chased successfully in a T20 International at home.
The Black Caps squad has been boosted by the return of top order batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Auckland-c766 opener.
