England vs New Zealand T20 World Cup Semi Final Match Prediction

Sumit November 10, 2021 0 Comments

The first Semi-Final in the 2021 T20 World Cup delivers a replay of the 2019 ODI World Cup Final as England take on New Zealand. England lost their final Group 1 game to South Africa but still topped the table. New Zealand beat Afghanistan in their final Super 12 game to secure 2nd spot in Group 2. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi at 18:00 local time.

England were beaten in their last game on Saturday with a below par bowling performance the main issue. We expect the bowlers, particularly the spinners, to respond in this match.

New Zealand are always in the mix at the latter stages of Men’s tournaments and they have quietly gone about their business in this T20 World Cup. They will be looking for revenge from 2019 in this match.
