T20 WC: Mitchell returns for SL clash

Return

All-rounder Daryl Mitchell is fit to return for the upcoming Super 12 clash against SL in the 2022 T20 World Cup. He fractured his finger ahead of the T20I Tri-series at home earlier this month.

T20I Career

Mitchell debuted against India in 2019. Since then, the all-rounder has bashed 657 runs in 35 matches, striking at 141.59 (50s: 2). Mitchell, who bowls right-arm medium, has clipped 20 wickets at 20.28.

Replacement 

Mitchell is likely to replace Mark Chapman in the playing XI. The latter didn't get a chance to bat against Australia.

NZ’s head-to-head record vs SL

NZ own a 10-8 W/L record against the Lankans (NR: 1). Notably, the Kiwis have pocketed five of their last six bouts in T20Is.
