Experienced opener Martin Guptill is doubtful for New Zealand’s Super 12 match against India on Sunday after he suffered a toe injury during their clash against Pakistan in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
Guptill hurt his toe after being hit by a Haris Rauf delivery during his side’s five-wicket loss here on Tuesday.
New Zealand head coach Gary Stead said Guptill, who scored 17 runs from 20 balls, was not feeling comfortable after the match. “Guptill was looking in a little bit of discomfort at the end of the match and the next 24 to 48 hours will be decisive,” Stead told reporters.
The Black Caps had lost their pace spearhead Lockie Ferguson before the Pakistan match due to a calf muscle injury.
