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.

Says a lot about T20 that NZ and Australia are in there, to be honest. I haven't followed closely. I've never watched a game of T20 for more than a few balls. From a distance, it seems as if Pakistan have been the best team by a long way. England are obviously good at white ball stuff.

I think after the kiwis embarrassed themselves over here in Australia 2 years ago they lost a bit of respect justified or not.

Until they can beat Australia in test matches the Australian public still look at them as a useless little brother.

They can handle every other nation its more mental when it comes to Australia

true.

To be honest though, I'm not sure many New Zealanders really actually care about Australian's respect any more.

Yeah good on the kiwis on getting revenge for 2019.

They were ripped off in the final. And should have been champions instead of England

And seeing England choke is always good fun

England peaked at just the wrong time, and missed Mills.
Kiwis do all the little things perfectly Including being awesome in the field.
