Hello and good afternoon to all, World t20 is at the semi-final stage where the first match is between England & New Zealand where the second match will be between Australia and Pakistan. It will be do or die match as a winning team will play the final and all of them will try their best to reach the final with good cricket.
England played good cricket even though they lost the last match against South Africa where Otherside New Zealand did not play that standard of cricket even though they are in the semi-final.
One bad news for England is that their in-form batsman Jason Roy was ruled out from the tournament but it is not that much hurt as Still Bairstow is in the team and it will be good he open with a butler. They can make one change as replace sam billings with Jason Roy and Billings will be a bat in middle order even he can open batting too.
England batting is very stronger but bowling is not that strong which they known for and obviously that there is no Archer and stokes but not bad too as two spinners they can turn the match to their side any time. Chris Jorden is an excellent deth bowler so it looks overall good.
New Zealand batting is not that promising compared to other teams and Williamson is not still in his best form whereas Guptill only showed his skill against only associate nations so it will be a big test for him too against England. Their middle order is not performed well so it's a load on top 3 again.
New Zealand bowling is very consistent and good but again they played 3 of their matches against the weaker team and they did even not perform at that level of cricket. So far they won matches with help of the bowler and thus once against it will be a big responsibility on them against England which is very difficult.
England is comfortable with the bat first or second but New Zealand not because they are not able to score so it will be difficult for them to score runs if they get to bat first because need at least 180 runs to defeat England otherwise England will easily win beside England can restrict New Zealand if they bat and score more then 150 because New Zealand is heavily depended on top 3 and once if they lose them early then its difficult task for them.
In short, England is more favorite to win this match but it's a game of cricket so can't say anything till the end of the match so it will be a very interesting first Semi-Final so don't forget to watch it.
