New Zealand have reached the last four at three of the past four T20 World Cups, and they could make it four from five at R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday. They take on England, who have already secured a spot in the semi-finals, in their final tie of the Super 8 stage.

The Black Caps had their first Super 8 game – a meeting with Pakistan – rained off, but they've made up some ground by eliminating co-hosts Sri Lanka, Mitchell Santner hitting 47 and Rachin Ravindra taking four for 27 in a 61-run stroll. It's left them two points better-off than the Shaheens, with a vastly superior NRR too.

For Pakistan to stand any chance of making it through, they need England to beat New Zealand. Former Black Caps skipper Tim Southee, now England's bowling coach, should certainly be able to help in that regard.

England have been somewhat chaotic with the bat, being forced to go deep in almost all of their games. It was the case once more in the thrilling two-wicket victory over Pakistan, Harry Brook's century at No.3 just about covering another late collapse.
