New Zealand bowler Tim Southee will not see Pakistan in the semi-final. Southey said that every team has an equal chance in the semi-finals and the Pakistan team is dangerous.
New Zealand prepared for the World Cup by competing in the tri-nation series involving Pakistan. The New Zealand team is preparing for the semi-final with the experience of playing more matches against Pakistan. In the final of the tri-nation series, Pakistan won the title by defeating New Zealand by five wickets.
Tim Southee says he will give his best in the semi-final and the aim is to beat Pakistan and reach the final. “Every team has an equal chance of finishing in the top four. Hope to continue the good performance. The Kivus bowler says comebacks are always a strength for the team. Pakistan were confirmed to be out of the Super 12 with back-to-back defeats.
But South Africa’s unexpected loss to the Netherlands gave the team hope. And after defeating Bangladesh in the decisive match, Pakistan, who were only fourth in the points table at one stage, reached the semi-finals. The contest will be a tough one when New Zealand, who lost in the finals last time, come to insist that they will not give up the title this time.
New Zealand will not underestimate Pakistan, says Tim Southee
