Good win.

I'm not sure what I would do about Buttler for the rest of the tournament.

Being out of form is no place for an opener in t20. But few people are as experienced as Buttler in India. And it's not like Duckett was in glittering form when he last played.

I definitely wouldn't be moving Jacks; he's playing too well at no.7. And I don't fancy moving Banton either; Rehan in theory could slot in at no.5, but I'd expect his bowling to get smashed in India and his batting is still a work in progress.

The NZ game won't be too important, so it could be a chance for Jos to play with some freedom if he gets the chance.
 
Sri Lanka have really let NZ off the hook. At 84-6 you cannot let them get to 140 let alone 168. Can't see them chasing it either based on their batting display against England.
 
From the BBC

Tashinga Musekiwa smacks a consolidation six down the ground and into the stands.

Zimbabwe are now 173-5 - but they still need over 50 runs off their final four deliveries.<laugh>
 
So India v WI is effectively a QF match.

India will need to hope it isn't a washout.
 
Great news that Archer has found his rhythm after an indifferent start to the tournament. OK that wasn't out but it was a brute of a delivery.
