England vs New Zealand In Colombo (Evening)
The context of today's match varies greatly for the two competing sides. England enter the contest with their semi-final progression already confirmed, having secured consecutive victories over Sri Lanka and Pakistan in their earlier Super 8 fixtures.
For New Zealand, however, the stakes remain incredibly high. The Black Caps currently sit on three points following a comprehensive win over Sri Lanka and a washed-out match against Pakistan. A victory today will guarantee their progression to the final four. Even in the event of a defeat, New Zealand could still qualify on net run rate, depending on the result of tomorrow's match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
