Since we have a good prospect of a competitive match here NZ is probably going to employ a different plan against our batsmen. Let me focus here on our openers.

Tamim: Since he played the short ball pretty well I think they will go with a heavily packed off-side field and will keep feeding him short of good length 6 inches outside off stump. Also, I think they will keep a deep mid-wicket for him as well.

Zunaied: I haven't seen him play yet, but based on what I read he is a compact player. I think they will try to bowl him some more short pitch deliveries to his throat.

I hope our first 5 batsmen are mentally prepared to defuse all NZ tactics. What other strategy NZ can take against our batsmen?
