So England set NZ exactly 180 to win.

 

Think that's above par, but not by much. The bowlers will have to be on form.

Very competitive total. Buttler and Hales doing the job required. 

 

Think it could be a close one!

Going to come down to the start IMO. Take a couple of key wickets in the first few overs and scoreboard pressure should finish the job, but if they get a platform and are at say 80 odd with only one down at halfway I think they'll get the target. They've got enough quality hitters.

Well, part one is done. Here's hoping for part two, as well.

Top 3 teams on 5 points! 

 

Unless there's any shocks or surprises, it's likely that Australia could get knocked out in their own back yard, unless they obliterate Afghanistan. 

If England win they’ll have to win by a record amount as our rate will surely only go up. We have the hardest game out of the 3 - but we’ll know what we have to do as we are last to play.

If my back-of-gum-packet maths is correct, if both matches last the full 20 overs for all innings then Australia need to beat Afghanistan by about 50 more runs than England do Sri Lanka to overhaul the run-rate.
