After defeating England in quarter finals, Sri Lanka is ready to face New Zealand in the semi finals. Spinners have played a big role in the subcontinent throughout the tournament and both the teams will be relying on them for victory.
However it is doubtful that the Sri Lankan key spinner Muttiah Muralidharan will be playing on Tuesday, as he is struggling with a leg injury at the moment, but with a maximum of two matches before he retires he will be desperate to play for the last time in front of home crowd.
Tim Southee is the leading wicket-taker for New Zealand in this World Cup with 15 wickets. He has taken some big-name wickets in the tournament: Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Ricky Ponting and Jayawardene.
This is New Zealand’s sixth World Cup semi-final in 10 tournaments and they have yet to win one. However Sri Lanka have reached semi-finals on three occasions.
Sri Lanka looks strong but kiwis are ready to surprise everyone by defeating Sri Lanka in the same manner as they defeated South Africa.
