New Zealand will look to leave behind the thrashing against West Indies and aim for a positive start to their World Cup campaign when they take on Sri Lanka at the Cardiff Wales Stadium on Saturday.

He will have the support of veteran pacer Lasith Malinga who can instil confidence into the team, both with his bowling and experience.
