Whilst we should get the runs if we bat sensibly have 2 concerns:

1) NZ rolled us for 150 in the round robin

and this for those of us old to remember

Greenidge, Lloyd, Richards, Haynes, Gomes couldn't chase down 183 in 1983 World Cup Final v India

Just a tad.  :P
Yes does really favour the batsmen with Power Plays which were non existent in 1983, wides one inch down the leg side, and other changes to hobble bowlers.

First 8 overs are crucial. Won't swing much after that....
