England vs New Zealand- Previews and Betting Tips

England are in the danger zone as they find themselves second on the points table, right below the Kiwis. A defeat in today’s t20 world cup match could easily send them tumbling down the order. England have played 3 matches and won just a stand-alone game. On the other hand, the Kiwis are unbeatable with 2 wins and a washout in their three games.

It was a rather disappointing outcome to Australia vs England fixture as the match was abandoned without a ball being bowled. Although the points were equally shared, the teams can’t do much with that. Before this, Sam Curran’s staggering 5/10, earned England their first win of the campaign. However, they followed that with a frustrating defeat against the Irish. This is a must-win game for them and a chance to improve their NRR.

Meanwhile, the Kiwis seem to be on a roll. They started poorly in their previous game against Sri Lanka, struggling at 15/3. Although, what came next was beyond anyone’s imagination. Glenn Phillips walks out and smashes a swashbuckling 64-ball 104 to get the Kiwis to 167/7. In reply, Trent Boult’s 4/13 and a couple of wickets each by spin twin Ish Sodhi & Mitchell Santner get New Zealand a 65-run win. This victory has kept them going strong, securing their top spot.

As per their head-to-head tally, New Zealand has won 3 out of the past 5 matches against England, while the British have just won 1.

England

England have a strong batting line-up that has always worked wonders for them. Their main aim will be to dethrone Kiwis off the top spot. For that, they will be heavily reliant on Dawid Malan who has 314 runs in just 9 games at a batting average of 44.86. Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, and Moeen Ali will also come in very handy with the bat. Although, Sam Curran with the ball has been in sublime form. In the past 18 games, the speedster has had 18 scalps. He will be accompanied by Mark Wood who has a whopping 14 wickets in just 6 games. If anyone can win it for England, it’s them.
