After their first two games, Kane Williamson's side are at the top of the standings over Australia on net run rate after achieving two contrasting victories. They cruised to a 10-wicket win over Sri Lanka in their opening game, then lurched to a two-wicket victory against Bangladesh on Wednesday at The Oval in London. "Next up is Afghanistan and that game is not quite as daunting. It's still a big one but New Zealand have had a good start to the tournament." "But that is what a World Cup is all about, trying new challenges and playing against top teams, so it's a game that both teams can really look forward to."
