"I think it's a great sign on this side. We've only dropped one game in the last however many games, and we've won in different ways. We haven't played the perfect game or played a complete performance across all three formats, but we've still found ways to win. If it does come off and we do have the perfect game, then it should be a great one to witness."
"It's been brilliant how we've been able to win in different ways and different guys stepping up. A lot of the time, probably the guys that aren't as well known for being the dangerous players - Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, guys like that who have come in and had big impacts, [Liam] Dawson. To sit here being already qualified with a game to go is only a good thing."
"We've sort of tried to place an emphasis on every game. New Zealand need to win to be sure of qualification for the semi-finals. Should they prevail, they will finish top of Group B. Pakistan are the only team in the group who can catch New Zealand, though it would take a significant swing in net run rate."
England secured their place in the T20 World Cup semi-finals after Harry Brook's century led them to victory over Pakistan by two wickets. Despite the win, England's performance remained unconvincing throughout the group stage. England bowling coach Tim Southee views their qualification with a game remaining as advantageous, noting the team has won in different ways without playing a complete performance. New Zealand, conversely, must defeat England to guarantee their semi-final spot and avoid relying on other results. Should New Zealand win, they would top Group B. Southee highlights that England's ability to win despite imperfect performances, with contributions from less prominent players like Will Jacks and Jamie Overton, demonstrates team strength.
