萊瑟姆排除了 Black Caps ODI 對陣斯里蘭卡的揭幕戰

Black Caps Test隊長湯姆·萊瑟姆(Tom Latham)因週五與坎特伯雷隊的超級粉碎比賽中拉傷而被排除在惠靈頓對陣斯里蘭卡的首日比賽之外。

Black Caps Test captain Tom Latham has been ruled out of the opening one-dayer against Sri Lanka in Wellington, after pulling up sore from his Super Smash outing with Canterbury on Friday.

Black Caps Test隊長湯姆·萊瑟姆(Tom Latham)因週五與坎特伯雷隊的超級粉碎比賽中拉傷而被排除在惠靈頓對陣斯里蘭卡的首日比賽之外。

New Zealand have won the toss and opted to bowl first at the Basin Reserve, where the capital has turned on a windy day.

紐西蘭隊贏得了擲骰子，並選擇先在盆地保護區投球，首都那裡刮風了。

"I guess it's been undercover for a couple of days," said skipper Mitch Santner of the pitch. "A little bit of grass on it, but I think it'll play pretty good."

「我猜這已經秘密幾天了，」球場隊長米奇桑特納說。 “上面有一點草，但我認為它會打得很好。”

The fixture provides a final build-up for both sides towards the ICC Champions Trophy tournament, which New Zealand won in 2000 and Sri Lanka shared with India two years later, when two attempts to play a final were rained out.

這場比賽為雙方爭奪國際刑事法院冠軍杯賽做最後的準備，新西蘭隊在2000年贏得了冠軍杯賽，斯里蘭卡隊在兩年後與印度隊分享了冠軍獎杯，當時兩次嘗試進入決賽均以失敗告終。

"We obviously have that in the back of our mind, anything about that, but we have a pretty important series here against a very good Sri Lankan side and it starts today," said Santner.

桑特納說：“顯然我們心裡有這樣的想法，但我們在這裡有一場非常重要的系列賽，對陣一支非常優秀的斯里蘭卡球隊，比賽從今天開始。”
