No. Overs 18 & 20 from Pretorius against Australia were garbage. Lost by 1 run.

So if we win this, it knocks India out of the comp? We don't even need to play them to beat them now? Cool.

You did well, lad. Some tight bowling at the death, surprisingly so from Neesham.

Conway seems determined to chip a one handed sweep to any nearby fielder but can’t make decent enough contact.

Well timed chase.

Not sure why Afghanistan didn't get Rashid in bowling in the power play. Reckon he would have nabbed a couple and made NZ chase a bit harder.

So Aussie v Pakistan and England v NZ.

That Aussie v Pakistan match is going to be an absolute belter.

So will England v NZ. There's plenty of classy batsmen in the Kiwi side who will lick their lips at facing what remains of the English bowling attack. I've not seen enough of NZ in this tournament to know how they've been getting on with the ball themselves, but losing Roy is a big blow.

The key bowlers are all in pretty good form -- Southee, Boult, and Ish Sodhi. Santner and Milne are not as consistent while Neesham is a great pie-chucker.

The England vs NZ semi is on Wednesday and Aus vs Pakistan one on Thursday, both starting at 3AM NZ-time if my read of the table is accurate.
