MANCHESTER, England: New Zealand are at peace with their underdog status and are preparing for a"scrap" in Tuesday's World Cup semi-final against India, coach Gary Stead and quick Lockie Ferguson said on Sunday.
New Zealand will be bolstered by the return of their leading wicket-taker in the tournament with Ferguson recovering from a tightness in his hamstring."I guess in World Cups obviously big games get pumped up and where we stand is the fourth going into the semi-finals so naturally I guess they back India," Ferguson said.
"We've played some good cricket to get to the point where we are in a position to play a semi-final and then it all counts on the day so were looking forward to the challenge for sure. On Tuesday, New Zealand will have to find a way to deal with Rohit Sharma, who smashed a record fifth century at this year's tournament against Sri Lanka on Saturday.
