England vs New Zealand Match Analysis

England leads the series 2-0 going into this game after defeating New Zealand by 95 runs in Manchester on Friday and winning the first game by a score of 7 wickets in Durham. In every facet of the game, England has utterly dominated the guests. Tim Southee and company, on the other hand, have fallen short on this trip in both departments.

On Sunday afternoon at Edgbaston, England and New Zealand will play the third game of their four-game series.

In this series, England is having fun playing cricket and has already put on two excellent performances. They support one another player for player, and they anticipate another significant victory on Sunday.

The series has seen a few brilliant moments for New Zealand, but they have struggled to remain consistent with the bat or the ball. If they want to compete in Birmingham, they must improve their bat and ball skills. 

England vs New Zealand Team Preview & Squads

England

Harry Brook is a fantastic discovery and the upcoming big thing. When it comes to batting options, England is spoiled for choice. There are numerous guys in England who may join the team and begin turning in outstanding batting performances.

In this England squad, Liam Livingstone, one of the top T20 talents in the world, bats at position number seven. This implies that there would still be a powerful, seasoned, and dependable batter to launch an attack against the opponent even after the visitors have eliminated half of the England team.

The addition of fresh bowlers is again another fantastic development for England. Every season, the pace onslaught just gets more powerful and larger. In their most recent two outings, Brydon Carse and Gus Atkinson were among the leading wicket-takers and have demonstrated tremendous potential. Adil Rashid, who heads the spin department, is in excellent form and has been bowling some efficient stints with the occasional breakthrough.

New Zealand

Some of the heavy hitters in this lineup who have demonstrated their prowess on the biggest stage include Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips, and Daryl Mitchell. They are strategically positioned in the lineup where their contributions have the potential to have a significant influence.

Mitchell Santner, who is a 7, can hit the long ball and score runs quickly. He has previously produced strong finishes. Despite all of this, New Zealand is still far from performing at its highest level.

Tim Southee, Adam Milne, and Lockie Ferguson have all had unsuccessful runs and left New Zealand in a precarious position.
