If the TAB takes bets on it I am tempted to place $1000 on NZ to beat Zimbabwe. Our team always seems to win against the weaker teams. With a few upsets against Bangladesh discounted.
For whatever reason our players are world beaters in these games. We always take the opposition seriously I think while other teams rest players etc. |

SL's bowling is in good shape.
Murali/Malinga have been bowling really well in the IPL. With Mendis and Mathews for support. Even the pie chucker Fernando has looked semi decent in the IPL, so he would probably be the 5th bowler. the batting on the other hand is a big worry.

Fernando's not in the squad. But yea same story as last time really. You'd fancy SL to win batting first and setting a moderate total. And they can bowl first and restrict sides to pretty low totals. But if a team strings a partnership together against them, or they put SL in and take wickets, then it's looking like curtains.

Like last time SL squad carries some passengers. Jayasuriya, Kapugedara and Kulasekara do not deserve to be in the squad over Jeevantha Kulatunga, Farveez Maharoof and Vaas / Thushara.
Biggest worry for SL is Dilshan has lost form. On the other hand Jayawardane, Sangakkara, Chandimal and Mathews all are in red hot form. Possible team against NZ, Dilshan, Jayawardane, Sangakkara, Chandimal, Mathews, Jayasinghe, Perera, Randiv, Murali, Malinga, Welagedara It would have looked much nicer if Maharoof was replacing Perera.

McCullum will probably struggle but I think Ryder quite likes spin bowling.
