Speaking to media today, Tim Southee said that the team aren't taking their next opponents lightly.

"Obviously we've had a great start to the summer, played some great cricket. But we know it's a new challenge, Pakistan will challenge us in different ways than the West Indies," he said.

"They're current champions in the Champions Trophy, they've been playing some good cricket for a number of years now."

"We're excited about the challenge."
