With three games left, the table is ridiculously tight with six teams still vying for the qualification places. As so often in formats like this, it will be down to who finishes the group stage on fire. Hopefully one of the teams that does that will be us - we are certainly capable of it.

The Heat are in a similar position to us so tomorrow should be a cracking game. Then we have two games against Sydney Thunder, another team in the qualification mix. We are lucky that all our last three games will be at home, so we have that extra knowledge of the conditions and hopefully can exploit that advantage.

We have lost Rashid Khan which was a blow, of course - it is always a blow when you lose a player of that calibre. But we have other very good bowlers and we have been pretty consistent as a bowling unit throughout the tournament so are still feeling confident. We have also got a couple of Test players coming back into the squad now which will be great.

It was a joy to play alongside Rash again. I was lucky enough to play with him at Sussex too and he is not only a genius with the ball but also a lovely man who is always willing to offer his time to others. As a cricketer, you never stop learning and playing with Rash again and watching the way he operates has been fantastic.
