Two from two at the World Twenty20, but BLACKCAPS coach Mike Hesson remains on guard.
His side are the form team of the competition and garnering praise from good judges around the globe.
But that counts for nothing in the coach’s eyes.
“It doesn’t really mean a lot to be fair. I think it’s nice the guys are getting the recognition they deserve, but we’re just focused on the next game because we know you can easily slip up in any game over here,” Hesson sad.
That next game has seen the team relocate to idyllic Mohali, where they will face Pakistan on Wednesday morning (3.o0am NZT).
“It will be quite a different challenge on this surface and obviously against Pakistan who have quite a different attack then the ones we’ve been confronted with to this point.”
Victory would seal the team’s first semi-final berth at the tournament in nine years and Hesson said he'll persist with the horses for courses approach.
“We always look to pick a side that’s best for the surface,” he said.
"We’ve looked to go hard in the first six we have to because we know it gets a lot harder as the game progresses and the pitch slows up and the ball gets softer.
“It’s about assessing what’s a good score in the conditions - it was only a week ago in Mumbai when we got 230 on a good wicket. "
The first two wins were set up by some dogged batting and finished off with polished performances with the ball and in the field.
Hesson sought to highlight the role his batsmen played in those wins.
"Our bowlers quite rightfully have got plenty of plaudits - but I think our batsman have actually done an excellence job on the wickets that we’ve played on.
“I’m really pleased with the batting on these difficult surfaces. It can be easy to just slog out, but I think the way we’ve found different ways to score has been great.
"You can’t just dig yourself a hole and try and push ones because ones are hard to hit and I thought we adapted well to that,” he added.
Yet again adapting to the conditions will be the key - something Hesson’s men have done expertly to date.
"We can’t play the same type of cricket that we play in New Zealand over here because if we do that we will be going home early.”
Rather a spot in the final four beckons for Hesson and his charges when they meet Pakistan live on SKY SPORT from 3.00am NZT on Wednesday.
