New Zealand Vs England 2nd T20 Match Prediction -New Zealand vs England - 03 Nov 2019
ABOUT THE MATCH
England’s tour to New Zealand represents the beginning of a new cycle for English cricket. 2019 has been a big year for them as they managed to win the 50 over World Cup and then draw the Ashes series 2-2. The focus will now shift to the T20 World Cup 2020 which is less than a year away.
To this effect, England and New Zealand are going to be playing five T20 matches to kick off this tour and start to get their final squad of players together. There are some exciting young players to watch out for and a couple of big names missing but the small grounds, excellent batting pitches, and athletic fielding should make for brilliant viewing.
New Zealand vs England 1st T20 is going to be played at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch on the 1st of November 2019.
England and New Zealand lock horns for the first time since their epic encounter in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 on Friday. The first of five T20Is takes place at the Hagley Oval with both sides looking to build towards next year's ICC T20 World Cup. While England's roster has a number of youngsters in it, New Zealand has a balanced side which gives them the favorites tag for this game. The last time these two sides faced off in a T20 match in New Zealand, England pulled off a close win in January 2017. Both sides are evenly matched on paper with the likes of Jonny Bairstow and Martin Guptill taking it to the field on Friday. Here are a few tips to help you pick your Dream11 team for NZ vs ENG.
MATCH PREVIEW
NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is currently ranked 6th in the ICC T20 rankings and appears to have some work to do to be able to get in shape for the T20 World Cup. It is going to be missing Kane Williamson for this series and is going to be led by Tim Southee instead.
That is a huge blow to New Zealand’s chances because not only is Kane Williamson the side’s best batsman but he is also a very good leader.
Martin Guptill and Ross Taylor will have to do the bulk of the run-scoring in Kane Williamson’s absence as the two most senior players in the side. Both of them are very dangerous in this format of the game. Guptill, particularly, thrives in home conditions and is going to be the biggest threat.
Colin Munro warmed up with a smashing century against England and should be in line to open the batting alongside Guptill. This combination makes New Zealand very dangerous to start out with.
The rest of the batting seems dependent on all-rounders and that could be a dangerous thing for New Zealand. Daryl Mitchell, Colin de Grandhomme, James Neesham, and Tim Siefert are expected to round out the batting order.
All of these players are dangerous but none of them are particularly dependable in terms of consistency.
Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Mitchell Santner, and Blair Tickner are expected to take the field for the first match. Trent Boult is not going to be playing the first match and is only in the squad for the last two matches.
New Zealand has a strong T20 side for sure but it needs its senior players to lead with the bat otherwise it could struggle against England.
New Zealand Vs England 2nd T20 Match Prediction -New Zealand vs England - 03 Nov 2019
ENGLAND
T20 cricket has been on the backburner for English cricket understandable for the last few months. Now, though, some new faces in the side brought-in with a view towards the T20 World Cup signal a change. This five-match series is going to be very important for England as it looks to put together a side capable of challenging for the title.
Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler, and Joe Root are some of the big names that are going to be missing from the England side for this tour opening up opportunities for the new faces in the squad.
Perhaps the one player that everyone will their eyes on is Tom Banton. The opening batsman from Somerset has everyone excited about his talent with the bat. He is a very innovative player that has risen through the ranks quickly and almost certainly will make his debut in this match.
Eoin Morgan, Dawid Malan, Sam Billings, Joe Denly, Jonny Bairstow, and James Vince are the other batsmen in the squad. There is some serious batting talent in this lineup and even though it is missing some first-choice names, the depth is probably better than what New Zealand possesses.
Sam Curran, Tom Curran, and Lewis Gregory are going to be fighting for the all-rounder spots in the side. We think that the Curran brothers add a lot more with the ball and could be very dangerous in New Zealand conditions.
Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid are perhaps the two bowlers in the squad that are assured of their place in the T20 side for the foreseeable future. They both perform brilliantly in this format and are excellent wicket-takers under pressure.
Patrick Brown is our pick for the second seamer in this side thanks to his brilliant ability to bowl in the death overs while Saqib Mahmood would bring some more pace to the table and be dangerous that way.
England has a lot of room to try out new players and its squad may be a bit inexperienced but it is certainly not weak.
Squads to choose from:
New Zealand:
Tim Southee (C), Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Colin de Grandhomme, Scott Kuggleijn, Daryl Mitchell, Colin Munro, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Seifert, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi, and Blair Tickner.
England:
Eoin Morgan (C), James Vince, Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, James Vince, Tom Banton, Sam Billings, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Joe Denly, Lewis Gregory, Pat Brown, Chris Jordan, Matthew Parkinson, Adil Rashid, and Saqib Mahmood.
Playing XI Updates:
New Zealand:
With Kane Williamson ruled out with injury, Tim Southee leads a very strong New Zealand squad on Friday. In Colin Munro and Martin Guptill, NZ possesses one of the most explosive opening pairs with Ross Taylor and Colin de Grandhomme following them. Kane Williamson's place in the side will be filled by Tim Seifert, who was impressive against India earlier in the year in home conditions.
Two spinners in Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner will be crucial in the middle overs while Tim Southee looks to deal a few early blows with the new ball. While Lockie Ferguson should fill in as the third pacer behind Scott Kuggeleijn, Jimmy Neesham should be opted ahead of Mitchell as the sixth bowling option in the side.
Possible XI: Guptill, Munro, Seifert (WK), Taylor, Grandhomme, Neesham, Santner, Kuggeleijn, Southee (C), Ferguson and Sodhi.
England:
Eoin Morgan is set to lead a new-look side with Tom Banton set to open the batting alongside Jonny Bairstow, who has a good record in New Zealand. James Vince should get the nod over Dawid Malan in the top order with Morgan and Billings playing a key role in the middle order. While Sam Curran is certain to feature in the side, Joe Denly and Lewis Gregory will also hope to find a place. As for the bowling department, Chris Jordan and Tom Curran will lead the attack. Adil Rashid should also play on Friday with one of the Lancashire duo, Mahmood and Parkinson also in the frame.
Possible XI:
Banton (WK), Bairstow, Vince, Morgan (C), Denly/Gregory, Billings, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Jordan, Rashid, and Parkinson.

Pitch Report:
New Zealand Vs England 2nd T20 Match Prediction -New Zealand vs England - 03 Nov 2019
An even contest between bat and ball is expected at the Hagley Oval with teams expected to prefer chasing. Pacers should get some help with the overcast conditions at the venue. 160 should be par on this surface although the firepower on either side and the shorter boundaries could help them breach it.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:
Wicket-keeper:
Tim Seifert is the preferred option ahead of Tom Banton with the Kiwi being well-versed with the home conditions available at the venue. While Sam Billings is another good option, Seifert should be backed to make use of this opportunity in the top order.
Batsmen:
Colin Munro scored a hundred in the second T20 practice match against England and looks to be in fine form as well. Along with the likes of Martin Guptill and Eoin Morgan, Munro is a worthwhile option to have on the fantasy side. If an extra England batting option is to be picked, Jonny Bairstow could fit the bill as well.
Allrounders:
Sam Curran was another player who shone in the practice game. With his ability to swing the new ball and also score some runs as well, he is a must-have in the side along with Mitchell Santner. One of Colin de Grandhomme or Jimmy Neesham should also suffice as the third allrounder in the side.
Bowlers:
Tom Curran and Lockie Ferguson are must-haves considering their ability to generate high pace and pick wickets in the death overs. Spinners are also a decent option on this surface with Adil Rashid being one to watch out for in this game. As for the final bowling pick, the likes of Ish Sodhi and Tim Southee would do the trick as well.
Captain: Colin Munro's form makes him a captaincy option for this game with the Kiwi opener's T20-I record being exemplary. Jonny Bairstow is also a very good option alongside Munro while the likes of Tom Curran and Mitchell Santner are also viable candidates for the same.
Fantasy Suggestion #1:
Tim Seifert, Colin Munro, Eoin Morgan, Jonny Bairstow, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, and Tom Curran. Captain: Colin Munro, Vice-Captain: Jonny Bairstow
Fantasy Suggestion #2:
Tim Seifert, Jonny Bairstow, Colin Munro, James Vince, Jimmy Neesham, Sam Curran, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Tom Curran, Ish Sodhi, and Chris Jordan. Captain: Jonny Bairstow, Vice-Captain: Mitchell Santner
TOSS PREDICTION
The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first. Defending a total can be tricky on small grounds where big hits are never too far away.
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
The weather forecast in Christchurch on match day is pretty good and we should have a full uninterrupted game being played out. As far as the pitch goes, the Hagley Oval can be relied upon to provide an excellent batting surface.
The ball will come on the bat nicely, and the short boundaries make six-hitting much easier as well.
A score of 180-190 must be seen as par by both teams at this venue.
