Previous matches

If we look at the previous five clashes between both teams, England has the upper hand. The recent series was a total train wreck for the Kiwis. England managed to win the matches quite easily. Their last clash was on 15 September, and England won that match by 100 runs.

David Malan was crucial to that victory, scoring 127 on 114 deliveries. He was also named the man of the match. Moeen Ali picked up four wickets, which makes him a dangerous man on the Indian pitches.

Key Players

It is a good time for England since their batters and bowlers are in form. Spinners will play a crucial role, and Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid are picking wickets. Dawid Malan and Jos Buttler are making runs at an average of 95 and 112 in recent 7 and 8 matches, respectively.

If we talk about New Zealand, Will Young and Daryl Mitchel are in form, averaging 80 and 50, respectively. These batting averages are from recent matches.

Ravi will be a crucial bowler, but you can also not write off Santner. Trent Boult will be lethal if he gets some swing.

Who will win?

England has a better chance of winning this game. So we will go to England. But you never know; things can play out very differently.

New Zealand batters showed form during their warmup game against Pakistan. But can we count a practice match here? Let’s wait for the game and see if our prediction was right or wrong. You can continue reading the highlights and find out.
