Both New Zealand and Canada enter Sunday's fixture on the back of wins and with team-confidence at an all-time high.
New Zealand could have had a few difficult moments in progressing given their poor form heading into the World Cup, but they already stand on six points after the impressive victory over Pakistan.
The Black Caps were ruthless in a 110-run win, largely thanks to the batting heroics of stand-in skipper Taylor and specifically a sensational final four overs of the innings.
