Great effort Brathwaite... if they batted without trying to win this in 35 overs, they would’ve won.

NZ made 291 after losing their openers for golden ducks but people believe that they are lucky somehow ....

That's not what people mean or at least I don't. They have been pretty good but they also have gotten some rub of the green. Even today their opposition lost a specialist batsman, which is critical for a side like WI. May be some of the luck is overstated since they were always going to make the top 4.

Yep. New Zealand are a quality side who happened to have a couple of things go their way this tournament.

The fact is that the top 4 are the pre tournament favourites and like we discussed yesterday about England, they will get stick because they're one of of the favourites.
