Quotes :
We know they are a big threat. Certainly we saw that in the one-day series we played in England. When I saw the team on paper, you knew that it is going to be a tough challenge. Guys that play tough cricket and aggressive cricket. It's no surprise to me that they are in the semi-final of the World Cup - Kane Williamson
Coming into this series we talked about emulating what Australia and New Zealand did at that World Cup. From where we were to where they were, we were miles away. In order to bridge the gap we had to try and emulate the fashion in which they played and the aggressive nature in which they went about their game and particularly with the ball - Eoin Morgan
