Who will win New Zealand vs England, 5th T20 2019?
It is all to play for at Eden Park’s Number 2 Ground, Auckland, when New Zealand and England meet in the final game of their five-match T20i series. The decisive final game will take place on November 10, and the live action will begin at 14:00 local time.
Dawid Malan was in outstanding form last time out, smashing only England’s second ever T20i century when he finished unbeaten on 103 from 51 balls. Eoin Morgan, meanwhile, hit 91 as the two shared a 182-run partnership and England levelled the series with a stunning win.
New Zealand had previously bounced back defeat in the first match with two consecutive wins – runs from Martin Guptill setting the tone for their two victories. He scored quickly early on last time out too, but the Black Caps were all out for 165 chasing 242 to win. Their hopes of a series win might now be thwarted with lots of rain on the forecast.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
Trent Boult slotted back into the team last time out, replacing Lockie Ferguson for the final two games. He was one of only two bowlers to keep things tight last time out so Scott Kuggeleijn could be handed a recall, along with Jimmy Neesham. Mitchell Santner bowled well and the two-pronged spin attack, with Ish Sodhi, is likely to be retained on a spin-friendly wicket.
NZ Key Players
Martin Guptill: More quick scoring at the top of the innings – hitting three sixes in his brief 27 from 14 balls – may have had more of an impact on a smaller chase. He has scored quickly, and now needs to go deep too.
Colin de Grandhomme: Only lasted three balls last time out, one of which he hit for six, but he was in good form in the two previous matches hitting a combined 83 from 47 balls across those two matches.
Mitchell Santner: Two early-wickets last time out helped him to 2-32 from his four overs and he now has nine wickets in this series ahead of a game at spin-friendly Eden Park.
NZ Team Form
After losing the first game of this series, Martin Guptill’s big hitting at the top of the order – taking a liking to Saqib Mahmood – set the tone as they came from behind to lead 2-1. Jimmy Neesham also batted well in the second game and Mitchell Santner claimed three wickets, while Colin de Grandhomme scored a half-century in the third match.
In the most recent match, however, Santer’s 2-32 could not prevent England blasting their way to 241/3. In reply, New Zealand could only muster 165 all out.
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, Scott Kuggeleijn
England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
Chris Jordan and Jonny Bairstow returned last time out, while Adil Rashid could make his return given the spin-friendly nature of Eden Park. Lewis Gregory is likely to be the man to make way. Sam Billings could also miss out if England wish to get in-form James Vince back into the top order.
ENG Key Players
Chris Jordan: Returned to the team last time out to take his sixth and seventh wickets of the series so far. Having batted well in the second match too, he has ensured he remains in contention for a World Cup spot.

Eoin Morgan: The England captain continued his superb T20 form last time out, smashing seven fours and seven sixes and falling just short of a superb 100 when he fell for 91 from 41 balls.
ENG Team Form
England stormed back to winning ways last time out, putting two defeats behind them as Dawid Malan smashed an unbeaten century and Eoin Morgan fell just short for 91.
