NZ Team News
New Zealand have been dealt a blow ahead of the T20Is with their regular skipper and star batsman Kane Williamson ruled out of the entire series due to a hip injury. Veteran fast bowler Tim Southee will be leading the team’s 14-man squad in the absence of Williamson. Allrounder Lockie Ferguson has returned from his thumb injury but he will be replaced in the squad with Trent Boult for the last two matches. The home team has also picked Blair Tickner and Jimmy Neesham who had an impressive World Cup campaign.
NZ Key Players
Colin Munro: The explosive left-handed opener is currently the world’s third-best batsman in T20Is. Munro is having a strike-rate of 161.16 in this format and he is coming off an unbeaten 107 off just 57 balls in Tuesday’s practice match win over England.
ENG Team News
England have named a 15-man squad led by Eoin Morgan for the T20I leg of their tour of New Zealand. Wicketkeeper-batsman Sam Billings will be making his international comeback since suffering a shoulder injury that had kept him out of the World Cup squad. The visitors have rested several frontline players and have blooded quite a few fresh faces into their squad like Lewis Gregory, Tom Banton, Patrick Brown, Saqib Mahmood and Matthew Parkinson. Morgan is likely to bat at the top of the order while his deputy Billings will probably bat at number six.
ENG Key Players
Jonny Bairstow: He has a pretty good record with the bat in T20Is and has three half-centuries to his name. Bairstow warmed-up with a brilliant 45-ball 78 on Sunday and England will want the opening batsman to carry that form into this first T20 international.
Sam Curran: He has risen to become one of the most prominent all-rounders in England cricket across all formats. Curran can be destructive on his day with both and ball and is capable of winning games for his team on his own. The left-hander will look to impress the selectors on his T20I debut.
Adil Rashid: The world’s third-best T20I bowler will pose the biggest threat to the New Zealand batsmen. The leg-spinner is among England’s leading wicket-takers in the format with 36 wickets. Rashid troubled the hosts in the first practice match where he took 2-25 from his four overs.
New Zealand vs England Prediction
England and New Zealand have both been faring well in the game’s 20-over format. While the former have won eight of their last ten matches, the latter have won five of their last seven. England have dominated New Zealand in this format and have beaten them thrice on the previous four occasions including the most recent encounter at the Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series last year. However, the visitors will be missing many of their senior pros like Joe Root, Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes. There is also plenty of inexperience in their bowling department and so the likes of Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan and Sam Curran will be under a lot of pressure. The hosts too will be without their captain Kane Williamson but we feel they still have enough firepower to take down a depleted England side.
