Razzaq needs to provide the much needed spark and ballistic hitting that Pakistan desperately needs. He along with Lance Klusner was the original finisher of the game in the early part of this decade. His big hitting in the death overs of an ODI is well known and Razzaq will need to provide the spark that Pakistan is so desperately missing.

New Zealand on the other hand seems to have ample big hitters in good form. McCullum, Taylor and Redmond all have come good so far. With Ireland also in their group, the Kiwis would be fancing their chances for a semi final berth.

Teams

Pakistan: (probable) 1 Ahmed Shehzad, 2 Kamran Akmal (wk), 3 Shoaib Malik, 4 Misbah-ul-Haq, 5 Younis Khan (capt), 6 Abdul Razzaq, 7 Shahid Afridi, 8 Fawad Alam, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Mohammad Aamer, 11 Saeed Ajmal

New Zealand: (probable) 1 Brendon McCullum (capt), 2 Aaron Redmond, 3 Martin Guptill, 4 Scott Styris, 5 Jacob Oram, 6 Peter McGlashan (wk), 7 James Franklin, 8 Neil Broom, 9 Nathan McCullum, 10 Ian Butler, 11 Kyle Mills
