Venue – Pallekele International Cricket Stadium

Today in the 21st match of T20 World Cup 2012, New Zealand will take on West Indies in a do or die match as one more defeat will send the New Zealand team packing home.

New Zealand has played two matches in super eight so far and have lost both of them. Today they need to win and win big to make them alive in the tournament. Even after winning big today, Kiwis will be hoping that England loses in the another match to be played later in the day.

On the other hand, West Indies have won one match and a win today and England’s loss at the hands of Sri Lanka today in the second match will take the Caribbean side into the semifinals.

The biggest worry for Kiwis has been the bowling department where as West Indies strength so far has been the batting department. So today’s match is expected to be a real high scorer and West Indies are considered the favorites.
