A win will all but secure New Zealand a semifinal berth.

Thunderstorms are forecast during the course of the match which starts at 9.30pm.

If the game is called off, the Black Caps would need South Africa to beat Afghanistan tomorrow and England to defeat Pakistan on Saturday to reach the semi-finals.

Coach Gary Stead told Mike Hosking that the forecast is getting better day by day, so he’s pretty sure they’ll be able to get some sort of match in.

He said that they know they have to beat Sri Lanka, and if they do that there’s a good chance they’ll qualify for the semifinals.
