Quarter-final calculations will be occupying the minds of both Sri Lanka and New Zealand when they clash in their final World Cup Group A match at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
With both teams having secured their last eight spots, a keen tussle is on the cards for the final two points on offer, which will determine their positions in the table and with it their opponents in the knockout stage.
Sri Lanka will have a slight edge going into the match with New Zealand having to cope with injuries to some key players before the business end of the tournament kicks off next week.
The 1996 champions will need to move out of their comfort zone -- playing at home in known conditions while being roared on by their fanatical supporters.
But Sri Lanka are not worried about that, according to all-rounder Angelo Mathews.
"It's not a big deal. The conditions are similar to those in Sri Lanka and the wickets are also slow. We have also played in India often," Mathews told reporters on Tuesday.
Sri Lanka's batting and bowling have now struck the right chord with the return to form of key players Tillakaratne Dilshan and Muttiah Muralitharan before the key clash.
ONLY BLIP
New Zealand's journey through the group stages has been relatively easy with four facile victories, the only blip coming against four-time champions Australia with a seven-wicket defeat.
The batting is brimming with confidence with almost all key batsmen having found runs during the campaign but it will be the bowling which will bother the Kiwis before Friday's key clash.
Regular captain and frontline spinner Daniel Vettori and paceman Kyle Mills have struggled with injuries and Ross Taylor might have to take the skipper's mantle once again if Vettori fails to recover in time.
Vettori missed the match against Canada on Sunday with an injured knee while Mills left the field after only 2.4 overs of his spell with a quad strain.
The Kiwis have already asked Daryl Tuffey to join the squad in Mumbai as cover for Mills.
"With Kyle Mills suffering from a quad strain we felt it was important to cover our bases," selector Mark Greatbatch was quoted as saying in a statement from New Zealand Cricket.
"The medical team are working hard to get Kyle fit and we are hopeful he will still play a big part in the World Cup so bringing in Daryl is a precaution.
"Getting Daryl over to India early gives him the best chance of adjusting to the different time zone and conditions should he become part of the official squad."
