The Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup begins today in Colombia and in its opening match, the teams of Pakistan and New Zealand will face each other.
Regarding this first match of the Super Eight stage, Kiwi player Mark Chapman said that we have the experience of playing against Pakistan and we know what to plan.
Mark Chapman from New Zealand said in a press conference that the conditions in this region are such that the toss becomes important, our players have played cricket here so they know the conditions.
He said that the pitches in India have been helpful for the batsmen, the bowlers have faced difficulties, the chances of the bowlers have decreased in India, spinners can be important in these conditions, Usman Tariq has a unique action, he swings and stops.
Chapman said Pakistan have good spinners, everyone is dangerous, Pakistan is the only team we have played the most in the past, we have experience of playing Pakistan and we know what to plan.
The Kiwi player added that to play against the spinners you have to plan and play different shots, but we also have bowlers who can be effective in these conditions, keen for Mitchell Santner to field tomorrow when Lockie Ferguson rejoins the team, unable to say whether he will be in the playing XI or not.
