England take on New Zealand in the first semi-final of the T20 World Cup. The winners of this match take on either Pakistan or Australia in the final. Last weekend saw England lose their first match of the tournament as they lost to South Africa. They still finished top of the group but have lost opener Jason Roy to injury and he’ll miss the rest of this tournament.
That follows the loss of bowler Tamyl Mills. James Vince has been called in to replace Roy and he’s a good replacement. England did miss Mills against South Africa and will need better performances from Wood and Woakes. Their eight overs against South Africa cost England 91 runs. The batting line-up is still strong though, with Buttler still in top form. New Zealand are yet to reach a T20 World Cup final. They finished second in their group, edging out India who suffered an early exit. New Zealand won four of their five games, only losing to Pakistan. It was the win over India that was the difference. However, their group didn’t have the depth of the one England played in with Afghanistan, Namibia and Scotland among their opposition. Bolt and Southee will cause England’s batsmen some problems.
England will have to be wary of Williamson and Guptill but they should be able to get the win over the Kiwis.
