New Zealand is a team that punches above their weight: Sanjay Manjrekar

Sanjay Manjrekar recently praised New Zealand's fighting spirit and opined that they usually punch above their weight when they play in World Cup tournaments. In a video on his official Instagram handle, Sanjay Manjrekar previewed the New Zealand versus India match and said:

"New Zealand, as always, is a team that punches above their weight. You saw that in the last game against Pakistan. Their effort was faultless. If at all New Zealand falls short of title-winning performances, it is because of ability. It's never about New Zealand never tries enough."

He added:

"Furthermore, you got to say that because this tournament is being played in the UAE, Asian teams have an extra advantage and someone like New Zealand with players like Guptill and others, they are not as much a threat in these conditions."

New Zealand are unbeaten against India in their T20 World Cup matches so far. Indian fans will be hoping to end this losing streak with a win today.
