			I think New Zealand myself.  And I think that yet again, Ireland will the country to surprise everyone with their showing.  I think Ireland have the right idea tbh, they attack like it is a 20 overs match and not play it like they have hundreds of innings to get a decent total like England seem to play like.

			England women beat New Zealand by 8 wickets.  NZ 60 all out after 19.4 overs.  England in reply were 61 for 2 in 11.4 overs.
 Zimbabwe squeaked a win against the UAE by 4 wickets.  UAE were 285/7 after 50 overs, Zimbabwe ended on 286/6, winning by the 4 wicket margin.
 
 Looks like the biggest win so far is Australia against England with 111 runs between the teams.

			Can but hope den.Seriously though if we can't beat the likes of Scotland and Afghanistan then we don't deserve to be in it frankly.  It's up to us to make sure New Zealand don't make it 3 wins out of 3.

			Oh dear oh dear.  Really got my doubts now as to whether England will make it out of the pool stage.

 Really hard for England fans to be optimistic really.  Saying that, New Zealand seem to be emerging as a force in cricket.
