Show Preview
It’s a rematch of the 2021 T20 World Cup semi-final as England take on New Zealand knowing anything other than a win would leave their semi-final hopes out of their hands. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7pm (AEDT).
England have had a strange tournament so far, especially considering they entered as one of the favourites to ultimately lift the cup in Melbourne.
They won against Afghanistan easily but somehow also not quite convincingly, and then followed it up with a shock loss against the Irish.
The English batting stocks are under some pressure to start firing again; captain Jos Buttler has been low on runs compared to his usual output and his run of form coming into the World Cup, while Ben Stokes has also been struggling of late.
Something drastic will have to change for the English batsman as they’re set to come up against a bowling attack that has plenty of arguments for being the best in this World Cup.
New Zealand have got themselves into the box seat of Group 1 on the back of two absolutely clinical performances with bat and ball. After kicking the tournament off with a demolishing of the host nation Australia and then having a game washed out, they continued to show their sublime form against a Sri Lanka team that had been troublesome to other opposition so far in the tournament.
And it’s not just one player doing it all: it was Devon Conway and Finn Allen getting New Zealand off to a great start with the bat in the first game, and then Glenn Phillips against Sri Lanka. He came in when the team was 2/7 and then rebuilt the innings, single-handedly getting the Black Caps to a respectable 167 on the back of his imperious 104.
Trent Boult and Tim Southey have shown us yet again that they may be one of the most underappreciated bowling duos of all time: Southee already has four wickets in the tournament and Boult has five.
But it’s not just the New Zealand opening bowlers – Lockie Ferguson, Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi have backed up Boult and Southee amazingly well, and been up to the difficult task of taking wickets through the middle overs and still being quite economical.
Prediction
New Zealand have been all-around imperious throughout the tournament so far, and there is simply no weak spot in their game. Even their fielding has been clinical.
It’s hard to see them losing against an English team that are yet to hit their straps in this tournament, especially against that bowling attack.
