Great win that and a big one too - 20 runs shows how well we batted and the bowlers were fantastic. One dropped catch but NZ dropped Jos let's not forget! Sit back and cheer for an Afghanistan win on Friday or failing that a close game where the Aussies don't get much on their NRR. Then go and give Sri Lanka a spanking on the Saturday. Used to seeing England chase, but wonder if we're better setting a target on these pitches so we can work it out a bit more. Sensible batting today, not going too hard too soon.
Ireland can secure a top 4 finish with a win against NZ. I fancy that more than Afghanistan getting close to the Aussies to be honest.

Top 4 means no qualifying next time round.
 
There’s always a chance of any result in 20/20. That’s why it’s taken off like it has.

We lost to Ireland. No doubt you suggested they had no chance of beating us either.

Beat Sri Lanka is all we can try to do and see if it is enough.
We play well we win

Maybe. I think NZ and Australia will both win and it will come down to run rate, and Australia's will be lower than NZ I reckon - although could come down to the toss. Afghanistan can't bat unfortunately, but they can be dangerous with the ball. With pressure on the Aussies you never know.
 
Home team will cook up a result vs Afghanistan, so the net run rate will be in their favour ? Bat first, score over 200 and then bowl them out for next to nothing

I think NZ are through any way with England playing Sri Lanka unless it's a washout, also Ireland beat NZ run rate would come into play
