Pressure Map: New Zealand vs Bangladesh

April 04, 2007 02:32 IST

New Zealand [ Images ] needed only 175 in 50 overs, much less than the Rediff.com expert's estimate of 250. They thus opened their innings with a pressure index (PI) of just 33.

At no point did the game look like a contest, and after the 25th over things got even worse for Bangladesh as captain Stephen Fleming [ Images ] hits fours and sixes at will.

With the Kiwi batsmen in full flight, it proved to be another worthless World Cup match.

Just think about it -- the 2007 World Cup will have at least 32 out of the 51 matches featuring minnows!
