New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
The 132-run opening stand between Martin Guptill (105 runs off 54 balls) and Colin Munro (76 runs off 33 balls) powered the Kiwis to a mammoth first-innings score of 243 at Auckland. Guptill has been the in-form batsman for New Zealand this series and he will be the key in this batting line-up. Trent Boult has taken five wickets in three matches and the hosts will look to him for the early breakthroughs with the new ball. Ish Sodhi conceded the least runs in the last game and the team will also have high expectations from him.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
-
Kane Williamson (c), Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Colin de Grandhomme, Mark Chapman, Ross Taylor, Tim Seifert (wk), Ben Wheeler, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Trent Boult
England Team News & Playing 11
Their batting will depend mainly on the likes of Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Dawid Malan and Jos Buttler. Hales and Malan scored 47 and 59 respectively in the reverse fixture against New Zealand and they will be expected to replicate that performance in this match. Mark Wood and Adil Rashid took two wickets each in that game and England will need these two to bowl well again. David Willey who has taken the most wickets for the visitors in this series will be another threat with the ball.
England Predicted Playing 11
-
Jos Buttler (c/wk), Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan, Jason Roy, David Willey, James Vince/Eoin Morgan (c), Dawid Malan, Alex Hales, Sam Billings, Mark Wood, Jake Ball/Sam Curran
New Zealand vs England 6th T20 Prediction
Australia's win over New Zealand in the last game has kept England's hopes alive for the finals. However, they will be aware of the fact that they were edged out by the Kiwis when they faced them earlier in the series. Moreover, the hosts have an excellent record in the 20-overs format at the Seddon Park with six wins in seven T20 internationals. So the venue has been a happy hunting ground for New Zealand which is why we predict them to continue their winning run here.
Final Verdict: Back New Zealand to beat England.
