(Reuters) - Pakistan must win their early battles against New Zealand if they are to overcome an in-form Kiwis unit in Wednesday's World Cup match at Edgbaston, according to bowling coach Azhar Mahmood.

After Sunday's comprehensive win over South Africa at Lord's, Pakistan know they still need three wins from their last three group-stage matches to have a chance at a semi-final spot.
