How many runs roughly do Australia need to win by to overtake England's current NRR?

I'm assuming we are already through unless both teams win by 180 run margins or something

Dockrell is pretty gun. Surprised England haven't poached him
Everyone thought they were going to when he was a teenage spinner, but he forgot how to bowl for a while and was a total bust in country cricket. He doesn't even always bowl in this lineup anymore. Looks somewhere near back to his best with the ball in the tournament though and can flog them in the middle order now.

Probably better at being Liam Dawson than Liam Dawson is when he's at his best, but not by much.

Santner actually bowls the way people used to say Vettori bowled imo. Vettori was very reliant on a fast arm ball, mixed with slow straight ones, and he was really tall so got a lot of bounce.

Santner varies his pace more and really loops and spins his stock ball….and bowls from much lower than Vettori, despite his height and bounce being referenced all the time for some reason

btw Vettori was an absolute gun T20 and ODI bowler I’m not questioning that
Thought I’d made a pretty sharp post here and then veganbob liked it ffs

If Australia win the toss is it easier to improve NRR batting first or chasing I feel batting first then trying to bowl them out cheap is best way to try and control the situation?
