Colombo: New Zealand's "street-smart" cricketers can find a way to beat England and guarantee their semi-final place at the T20 World Cup, coach Rob Walters said on Thursday.
A win for New Zealand in Friday's night's Super Eights clash in Colombo will see them top Group 2 and join the already-qualified England in the final four.
A defeat would leave the door ajar for Pakistan to beat eliminated Sri Lanka on Saturday with the second semi-final in Berth then being decided on net run rate.
Mitchell Santner's New Zealand were in trouble at 84-6 against Sri Lanka on Wednesday before the captain steered them to 168-7 and a thumping 61-run win which knocked out the co-hosts.
“I think if you look historically at the Black Caps, you would probably say that they're a team that have been great problem solvers,” Walters told reporters.
