    The Black Caps insist they're well aware of the spirited start by the minor cricket nations at the T20 World Cup


    New Zealand's game against the UAE in Chennai later tonight comes after England survived a last ball thriller against Nepal and India had to dig themselves out of a big hole against the USA.

    Black Caps batting coach Luke Ronchi says they can't dip from the standards they set in their opening five-wicket win over Afghanistan.



    First ball tonight is set for 10.30.
