A highly competitive Group 1 is set to go down to the wire with England and hosts Australia fighting it out to reach the semi-finals. England are currently placed third in the group, with holders Australia second and in grave danger because of their vastly inferior net run-rate. “Obviously a great win against New Zealand in a really tight game and a tight contest, hopefully should set us up for the rest of the tournament,” said top-order batsman Hales.

Hales, who made a half-century against last year’s beaten finalists New Zealand on Tuesday, admitted that playing a day after Australia was a big advantage. “I guess we’re pretty confident that whatever we need to do, we’ve got the skills and firepower to do it.”
