ICC World Cup 2023: Daryl Mitchell and New Zealand ditch big picture for smaller goals ahead of Pakistan clash

After a string of big losses, New Zealand’s campaign finds itself on a sticky wicket with a number of injury concerns ahead of a crucial match against Pakistan in Bengaluru on Saturday. We stay where our feet are, and injuries are things that we can’t control,” Black Caps batter Daryl Mitchell told reporters here on Friday. Injuries to Kane Williamson, Lockie Ferguson, Mark Chapman, Matt Henry have played a part in derailing a once unbeaten New Zealand, which now stands at the risk of losing its spot in the top four. Mitchell quipped that this might be a conversation that’s above his pay grade and said that each player is focussing on the opportunity to don the New Zealand blacks and making hay when the sun shines.
