Who will win New Zealand vs England, 4th T20 2019?
Hosts New Zealand can seal series victory with a game to spare when they take on England in the fourth match of their five-game series. The match will take place at batsman-friendly McLean Park, Napier, on November 8 and will start at 18:00 local time.
England have an experimental side but have seen their flurry of new players come up short in the last two matches – unable to chase imposing targets of 177 and 181. They have handed T20i debuts to six players so far, with an eye on next year’s ICC World T20.
New Zealand, on the other hand, have won the last two matches to take the lead in this series and could now welcome Trent Boult back into the team too – he was rested for the first three matches.

NZ Team News
Opening bowler Trent Boult is back with the squad for the fourth T20i, after being left out for the first three games to rest and focus on first-class domestic commitments. Lockie Ferguson is the man to make way. Blair Tickner replaced Daryl Mitchell last time out, meanwhile, and could keep his place after bowling well.
NZ Key Players
Martin Guptill: Has taken a particular liking to Saqib Mahmood, with two big-hitting innings at the top of the order to set the tone in each of the last two matches.
Colin de Grandhomme: After hitting 28 from 12 balls in the second game, he scored 55 from 35 balls last time out – his third T20i half-century. In T20 cricket, he boasts a phenomenal strike-rate of 162.34 and can be a useful extra bowling option if called upon too.
Trent Boult: Back in the squad and will lead the bowling attack after taking 37 wickets in 25 T20i matches so far.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand are looking to back up their previous series successes against Sri Lanka and India are now on course to do that after coming from behind to lead this series. They could not defend 153/5 in the opening game, but Martin Guptill and Jimmy Neesham powered them to 176/8 and a 21-run win in the second, before Colin de Grandhomme’s half-century saw them post 180/7 and win the third match by 14 runs.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Tim Siefert (wk), Colin de Grandhomme, Ross Taylor, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee (c), Trent Boult, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner
England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid and Jonny Bairstow made way last time out, as Tom Curran returned and Matt Parkinson and Tom Banton made their T20i debuts. Jordan could come in for Saqib Mahmood this time, however, while Bairstow may be selected behind the stumps ahead of Sam Billings. There are plenty of options for rotation still.
ENG Key Players
Chris Jordan: Five wickets in the first two matches of this series, and then 36 runs from 19 balls, have ensured the fast-bowling all-rounder has answered the questions that hung over him ahead of this series.
James Vince: Out just one run short of his 34rd T20 half-century in the last game, having opened the tournament with his 33rd (and first for England). His 49 last time out came from 39 balls.
Eoin Morgan: Hit two sixes as he fell for 18 last time out but he now has 84 runs from 51 balls so far in this series to continue his excellent T20 batting form.
ENG Team Form
England have lost their last two games in this series, having previously won six matches in a row. James Vince hit 59 in the opening game to lead a chase of 154 in a seven-wicket win, but Dawid Malan’s scores of 39 and 55 – England’s top score each time – has been unable to guide them to victory since. In the first game, they were 155 all out chasing 177 to win, while last time out they lost by 14 runs after posting 166/7.
England Predicted Playing 11

- NZ Top Batsman: Martin Guptill has been back to his big-hitting best and he is 3.50 to be New Zealand’s top batsman with Bet365.
