Sides won’t worry about NRR until a game is won. Just like when NZ needed 50 off 20 overs against us, (or whatever it was) they decided to smash it round to maximise their NRR.

Exactly. You can't play the game worrying about NRR as it could cost you the win, which is the main aim!

If it's tight with a few games left, teams might try a bit harder to improve it. If there's one game left and we know we need to boost it then we'll bowl first so we can better control it.

But as I said, win your games and it doesn't matter!

That was a much better performance from England.

Hard to bowl them out when they were playing to protect their NRR from the 35th over, but we managed it and we're back in the tournament.

Bigger fish in the pool than Bangladesh, but never the less a very good win was needed, Topley was very good, Wood ok, Malan had a great innings, Root Good, Should World Cup games be played on a very poor ground and outfield
