We have come to the beginning of the end of the Cricket World Cup, with only three games left of this cricketing spectacle.
This match between the Sri Lankans and the surprising New Zealanders is not as evenly matched as the game we are all looking forward to tomorrow, but should prove to be a decent game of cricket!
New Zealand will take heart from the fact that they beat the Proteas in a game nobody gave them any chance in, and that underdog tag is what they will be wearing again tomorrow. Sri Lanka watch out!

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 17) :
😈 😆
Im not trying to shift the favourite tags Rich.
You seem to forget who the top SA team is and I quote:
‘Remember that the Sharks, as Currie Cup champions, are going to be playing with a massive target on their backs this year. Every team likes to beat the best and the reality of the situation this season is that the Sharks are going to face highly-motivated and physical opposition every time they take the field.’

So if Rob says so, then IT ARE so, capish?? 😀
