    Good morning! We're getting to the business end of the group stages but there's still plenty to play for, with one semi-final spot up for grabs.

    A win today puts New Zealand in a very strong position to take that place, but a defeat leaves them quite vulnerable - with Pakistan and Afghanistan still in contention as well.
