New Zealand, led by their dynamic skipper Mitchell Santner, will test England’s batting firepower, spearheaded by Harry Brook, when the two sides meet in a Super 8 T20 World Cup clash on Friday. The match is crucial for the Black Caps, who aim to secure a semi-final spot.
England are already through to the last four after winning their first two Super 8 matches—a 51-run victory over Sri Lanka and a two-wicket win against Pakistan. New Zealand, meanwhile, showed their strength with a 61-run win over Sri Lanka, boosting their net run-rate to +3.050.
To progress, New Zealand just need to avoid a heavy defeat. The Black Caps have also proven comfortable against spin, which could trouble the England line-up.
