After being fined part of their match fee for a slow over rate against West Indies on Saturday, New Zealand will be keen to keep things ticking along with skipper Kane Williamson facing a one-match ban.
Williamson was fined 20 percent of his match fee and the rest of the team 10 percent for a slow over rate in their five-run victory.

Unbeaten New Zealand top the table and look good for a semifinal spot but with three tight matches ahead the side will be keen not to lose such their talisman for the run-in.
Williamson has scored back-to-back centuries, the 28-year-old holding together New Zealand’s chase against South Africa with 106 not out and then rescuing their innings with 148 against West Indies.
