Nasser Hussain heaped praise on all-rounder Sam Curran, after England defeated New Zealand to keep their T20 World Cup hopes alive. England headed into Tuesday's game on the back of two rain-affected matches which led to a shock DRS defeat to Ireland and a washout tie with Australia.
Jos Buttler's side therefore knew they had to defeat the Kiwis at the Gabba to stay in the competition, and that they did thanks a 20-run victory. A number of England's big name players stepped up to the mark, with captain Buttler making 73 from 47 balls and his opening partner Alex Hales racking up 50 from 42.
With the ball Mark Wood, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone all played their part in reducing the damage inflicted by a star-studded New Zealand batting lineup.
