Up next for Eoin Morgan's boys are Scotland, a team that won eight matches on the trot to qualify for the ICC World Cup 2015.
Scotland's bowling performance against New Zealand sent another warning to the major cricketing nations that the associate members were not at the World Cup to make up the numbers.
New Zealand huffed and puffed to a three-wicket win against a spirited Scotland but jumped to the top of Pool A with second consecutive win in World Cup.
A target of 143 was never going to be enough to stop the Kiwis but the Scots fought on valiantly, taking seven New Zealand wickets in the process.
