TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Preview
Tom Latham and his men would have their backs against the wall in this game. The side must overcome its poor show in the last game and work on its basics. The batting lineup struggled in the last game with its consistency. England will come hard on them, and Latham expects a strong show from his key players.
Devon Conway failed in the last game and must deliver a steady start with Tom Latham. Kane Williamson’s form is good news for the team, and he must add runs in the middle order with Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell. Glenn Phillips and Tom Blundell are good lower-order batsmen and must do well.
England Preview
Ben Stokes’ team was under pressure in the last game against a confident New Zealand. However, the team pulled its weight to register a clinical win. The batting lineup did well, and the bowlers were up to the task. Stokes expects a similar show from his team in this game as they aim for an unassailable lead.
Zak Crawley had a poor outing in the last game, and he must improve his show and deliver a steady start with Ben Duckett. Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, and Harry Brook are in good form, making the middle order formidable. The team has depth in the batting and expects a good show from Ollie Pope, Ben Stokes, and Chris Woakes.
Weather Conditions
We will have clear skies over Wellington, and the conditions will be good for a game. The wicket will be lively, and fast bowlers will enjoy bowling under the clouds. Batsmen have to play to the merit of the ball. The average first-innings score is 318 runs, and the team batting first will be happy to have 400 runs in the first innings.
NZ vs ENG Pitch Report
The pitch at Basin Reserve, Wellington, has a lot for the fast bowlers early on in the game, and batsmen must be watchful on the first two days. Batsmen who play the waiting game have done well at this venue. There isn’t much on this surface for the spinners, and they must use their variations to succeed.
Toss: To Bowl
In the last five games, the side bowling first has won three times. The wicket has moisture on the first two days, and batting conditions improve as the game progresses. The side winning the toss will look to take advantage of the conditions and won’t hesitate to bowl first.
