NZ skipper Vettori in injury scare

PALLEKELE, Mar 8 (AFP): New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori hurt his right knee while attempting a catch in his team's World Cup Group A match against Pakistan at Pallekele stadium in Sri Lanka on Tuesday. The 32-year-old landed awkwardly as he tried to catch Kamran Akmal at mid-on after New Zealand set Pakistan a mammoth 303-run target. He was helped to the dressing room by team officials. "Dan hurt his right knee while attempting a catch. He is currently taking ice treatment and was being assessed," team media manager Ellery Tappin said.
