New Delhi: A big match will be played in the T20 World Cup 2022 this afternoon. England and New Zealand will face face-to-face in Brisbane. If New Zealand wins this match, then they will become the first team to reach the semi-finals.
At the same time, it will be a ‘do-or-die’ match for England. If the English team loses this match, then the path to the semi-finals will be closed for them.
There have been 22 matches between the two teams so far. Of these, England has won 12 matches, while New Zealand has won 8. One match is tied.
In such a situation, England’s edge seems to be heavy. However, looking at the current form, the Kiwi team seems to be dominating.
New Zealand team is in rhythm
This World Cup has been tremendous for New Zealand so far. The Kiwi team has defeated Australia and Sri Lanka badly in the Super-12 round. At the same time, his match against Afghanistan was washed out due to rain. At present, New Zealand is at the first place in Group-1 on the basis of 5 points and strong net run rate. The team’s top order is in great form.
In the middle order, Glenn Phillips has scored a century in the last match. The bowling attack of the Kiwi team is also in rhythm. Spinners and fast bowlers are playing their respective roles well.
On the other hand, this World Cup has not been anything special for England so far. In the first match, they defeated Afghanistan but in the second match, they had to face an upset at the hands of Ireland. After this, the third match of the English team with Australia remained inconclusive due to rain. The English team is currently third in Group-2 with three points.
