ENG vs NZ Match Preview

England enters this fixture with perfect momentum, led by captain Harry Brook, who recently struck a match-winning century against Pakistan. Having already qualified, England may use this fixture to fine-tune their combinations ahead of the semi-finals on 4 and 5 March.

For New Zealand, the equation is straightforward: a victory over England will take them to five points and secure their spot in the final four. However, a loss would leave them on three points, opening the door for Pakistan to overtake them on Net Run Rate (NRR) should they defeat Sri Lanka in their final match.
