Bond & Styris injured again

Shane Bond and Scott Styris both suffered further injuries during New Zealand’s 51 run win over Pakistan which secured them a place in the semi-finals.

Bond pulled a hamstring while Styris suffered a buttock strain and both players will be more closely monitored over the coming days.

Although Bond and Styris along with Stephen Fleming were the stars of New Zealand’s win over Pakistan, Fleing urged fans not to forget the more than useful contributions by Daniel Vettori and Jacob Oram.

New Zealand’s likely semi-final opponent is either Australia or India depending on how final results go in Group A.
