Even though every single of this warm ups are very important, i think the match against the in form NZ would give us a much clear picture of our chances in the cup.
NZ has been in mighty form of late, handing Australia a 3-0 drubbing in thier soil.
All their players seemed to have picked at the right time and our boys would be tested very heavily on that match.
Also, this would give us one final chance to play with some quality opponent and have a real reality check before the game rather than the false hopes of winning against the minnows.
If we can manage to perform very well in that game, or even win, the whole shape of the world cup could take a dramatic chance.
Beside the obvious, i think only Bangladesh has a great chance to provide some sparks and firework in the cup. IF they manage to go the next round, not only they'll knock one of the contendors of the cup ( hopefully india), but that would change the whole scenario of the tournament as well.
