The NRR difference doesn't seem that big tbh.140. So do New Zealand now go all out and risk losing by trying to get the runs as quickly as they can, or do they play it safe and bank on England getting thumped by SL?
We won't need SL to really thump England - because we tied with SL, our NRR is relatively good. If we can chase this score comfortably (big if), then any SL victory should be enough.140.

Wouldn't really help us. England would have to absolutely steam-roll SL for us to have a chance of surpassing their NRR.We won't need SL to really thump England - because we tied with SL, our NRR is relatively good.

Would be way better if we could have had points for a tie though. Don't really see the need for an eliminator when it's a round robin game.
Anyway, good recovery by our bowlers/terrible batting by WI. Problem is of course our batting from 6 down, plus Nicol, is crap, so if WI get early wickets they'll still be in with a decent chance.
yes that could be happening quite soonOh dear.
At least if NZ lose I will get some sleep.
