PALLEKELE, Sri Lanka: New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori was carried from the field after injuring his right knee during the World Cup Group A match against Pakistan on Tuesday.
Vettori made a valiant attempt to catch Kamran Akmal's uppish drive but landed hard on the ground at mid-on as the ball went past for four.
Vettori, a spinner, is one of New Zealand's most important bowlers.
The New Zealand captain was carried off the field by the team's support staff.
