If there is one team who won't be overlooking NZ, it's England. Red alert sirens will be blaring. NZ won't be overawed by England either having gone toe to toe and not actually lost.
When we faced England earlier I think we were beaten before the game even began such is the hold they have on us. I know we won the ODI series last year, but the scars they've inflicted these last few years run deep.
I think the key is to get them batting first and try and rip through them, they have an imposing batting line up.
As a batting team you probably think you need 160 minimum to be in the game, highly unlikely any team contains them to under 140 when they are batting second, they've got that much strike in their line up they can maintain a solid strike rate given how many good batters they have in white ball cricket.
South Africa put up 190 or so and England gave that a real shake.
