Vettori missing as Black Caps target quarters
by John Weaver
WORLD CUP CRIKET: NEW DELHI, March 12 (AFP) - New Zealand are hot
favourites to seal a place in the World Cup knockout round when they
face minnows Canada on Sunday but will have to do it without injured
skipper Daniel Vettori.
Defeat in Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium would be a major shock for the
Black Caps, who have a total of six points after thumping 10-wicket wins
over Kenya and Zimbabwe, and a 110-run victory against Pakistan on
Tuesday.
Their only blemish was a seven-wicket defeat against Australia.
"No Dan Vettori, but no alarms. That should be the outcome of New
Zealand's penultimate group game at the World Cup against Canada at
Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium," the New Zealand Herald said on Saturday.
