 Styris scored 21 runs against West Indies but broke his thumb |
New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris faces six weeks on the sidelines after breaking his thumb. The 33-year-old damaged his hand batting for the Black Caps in their opening Twenty20 international against the West Indies and now faces surgery. The hosts have yet to name a replacement for the all-rounder, who retired from Test cricket in February, for Sunday's second game in Hamilton. New Zealand lost the opening match on a super over tie-breaker.  | 606: DEBATE |
After both sides reached 155, West Indies scored 25 runs to the New Zealanders' 15 in the super over. Styris, who will now have a pin inserted in his thumb, scored 21 runs in the Twenty20 match in Wellington.
