It's a sunny day - and the forecast suggests play won't be interrupted like yesterday's match between India and Sri Lanka.
Image source, Getty ImagesNew Zealand all-rounder Melie Kerr believes they can continue to challenge at ICC tournaments, saying we will "see the best of them" over the "next five to 10 years".
The White Ferns head into the 50-over World Cup chasing an unexpected double after emerging as the surprise winners of the T20 World Cup in 2024.
Despite that triumph, New Zealand are not among the favourites to lift the World Cup - a status Kerr will happily accept if going under the radar takes them to another trophy.
"Everyone that's playing in a World Cup wants to win but that T20 World Cup was awesome," Kerr told BBC Sport.
"People overlook New Zealand and we're not talked of as favourites, which we can use in our favour and just work quietly behind the scenes and go out there and express ourselves when we get the chance.
"I think this group we have is really exciting and in the next five to 10 years, you're going to see the best of them."
