MATCH PREVIEW

New Zealand will look to draw comfort from pleasant memories at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium as it aims to seal its berth in the Super Eight of the ICC T20 World Cup when it takes on Canada in its final league (Group D) fixture on Tuesday.

The Black Caps won both their games at this venue — against Afghanistan and UAE — before being handed a seven-wicket thrashing by South Africa in their previous encounter in Ahmedabad.

On paper, Canada shouldn’t trouble the Kiwis, but the defeat to the Proteas exposed some chinks in the armour.
