Morne morkel: Cricket News & Match Updates

Former South Africa pacer Morne Morkel reckons New Zealand won't be much concerned by their opponents, Australia, in the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. He added that after getting past England, New Zealand will be focusing on their preparations and controlling the controllable factors in the final at Dubai on Sunday. New Zealand had got the better of England by five wickets on Wednesday while Australia defeated a rampaging Pakistan by the same margin on Thursday.

"New Zealand won't mind who they are playing in the final. They've already overcome a huge hurdle and got one over England which shows they can handle the heat when it's on them. In a final, it's about doing the basics as well as possible.

Their focus will be on getting themselves ready and controlling what they can control. Whoever they come up against, they'll be ready for them," wrote Morkel in his column for the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday.   Read More...
