Kane Williamson admits his New Zealand side probably need to hit the reset button if they are to have any chance of lifting this ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 trophy. The Black Caps have slumped to three defeats on the spin, the last of them against England in Durham on Wednesday, to limp into the final four.

It will take an extraordinary Pakistan win over Bangladesh at Lord바카라s to overturn the run rate deficit and knock the Black Caps out of the semis. But regardless, Williamson knows his side have to try and forget what has come before if they are to have a chance.
바카라In some ways a (reset) happens on its own. If you are in a knockout stage or a semi-final, anything can happen on the day," he said.Â
바카라And we know from our perspective we haven바카라t put out our best performance yet and we know when we do that gives us our best chance of beating anybody.
바카라It is important to have a couple of days away, we have a bit of a break. if we are fortunate enough to be in the semi-final, we have a break and need guys to come together to go out and have that 바카라freshness to play with the freedom that allows us to play our best cricket.
바카라It does start fresh after the round robin.바카라
The batsmen failed to fire yet again in Durham in the 119-run defeat, only Tom Latham passed 50 for the Black Caps.
Williamson바카라s own form has been impressive all tournament though, and the skipper wants the likes of Ross Taylor and Martin Guptill to come good.
바카라There are important learnings to take note of on some difficult surfaces. We need to try and better for having had those experiences,바카라 he added. Â
바카라It would be nice to be more successful in those scenarios.
"I don바카라t want to take anything away from England, they outplayed us regardless of conditions and deserved their win.
바카라We have to try and take smarter options. We need to take partnerships longer and deeper.바카라
And while Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy were the key architects of England바카라s innings, it was the pace of Jofra Archer who is the second top wicket-taker in this tournament that really caught Williamson바카라s eye.
바카라He is a very nice bowler, isn바카라t he? He바카라s easy on the eye when you are at the other end. He ambles into the crease and then he has a really nice snap of the write and generates a really good pace.
바카라I have played against him in other competitions and he has obviously been an extremely effective and world-class performer. Without doubt a great addition to any team and especially England.바카라 (Inputs from ICC)
