New Zealand's chances of making it to the ICC Champions Trophy semi-finals were dealt a blow with the news that Jesse Ryder has been ruled out the rest of the tournament after pulling his left abductor muscle during the Group B match against Sri Lanka at the Wanderers.
In the fifth over of New Zealand's innings, Ryder went down on the ground after taking a single and had to take a runner. Ryder was on 5 then and went on to score 74 off 58 despite the injury. New Zealand will name a replacement for him if they manage to beat Sri Lanka and stay in the tournament. New Zealand lost their opening game against South Africa by five wickets and are currently on two points.
Ryder is the second New Zealand player in the tournament after Jacob Oram (hamstring) to be sidelined by injury.
