New Zealand have won all three of their pool matches with the same side, their last an eight-wicket humiliation of England at Wellington.

Paceman Tim Southee, who took a New Zealand ODI record 7-33 against England, was struck on the shoulder by a ball in training on Thursday but has been cleared to play.

"The guys have really stood up over the last little while and the combinations have worked pretty well," McCullum told reporters in Auckland on Friday.
