The match begins in Manchester at 18:00 local time.
England were on top in the opening match of the series from the fourth over of the first innings. Confidence is high in the group and they will expect to win again on Friday evening.
New Zealand have many strong players but only Glenn Phillips made a decent contribution with the bat on Wednesday. We expect a much better performance across the side in this match.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
There was a T20I debut for Brydon Carse on Wednesday evening and his brilliant bowling will ensure that he stays in the side for this match. Jos Buttler was happy to drop down the order and give opportunities to other batters and we expect the same in this game.
ENG Key Players
- Dawid Malan- the left-hander hit 54 runs from 42 balls on Wednesday and he is one of England’s most consistent white ball players.
- Harry Brook- the young right-handed batter put the disappointment of missing out on the World Cup squad by taking England to victory in the opening game with 43 not out from 27 balls.
- Luke Wood- the left-arm pacer conceded three successive sixes in the first over of the game but got the big wickets of Devon Conway, Tim Seifert and Glenn Phillips.
ENG Team Form
England ended their poor run of three successive T20I defeats with a big win on Wednesday.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
After losing by a large margin on Wednesday evening, captain Tim Southee highlighted the lack of build-up time for his team. As a result, we are not expecting any changes to the side for this match with Southee keen to show faith in the same XI.
NZ Key Players
- Devon Conway- the 32 year old made only 3 runs from 8 balls in the opening game of the series but he is a very talented player and we expect him to deliver for his team in this match.
- Finn Allen- the opener was one of only two players for New Zealand to hit over 20 runs on Wednesday evening and he got the crowd going with three successive sixes in the first over of the game.
- Lockie Ferguson- the right-arm fast bowler will have benefited from bowling 3 overs in the first T20I and should get more assistance from this pitch in Manchester.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand have lost two of their last three with the big defeat against England and a loss to UAE.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Devon Conway (wk), Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee (c), Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi
