England team were able to make 282 runs after being put into bat by the New Zealand team. This can be a competitive score if England can take quick wickets when they come out to bowl. However, on the other hand, New Zealand will also fancy their chances to win this match as the score is not so big that it can’t be chased. Just need a good startup partnership and the match will be under their control.
Joe Root really played well and score 77 runs in 86 balls. Jos Buttler scored 43 runs in 42 balls. Almost every batsmen from England stayed on the crease and made some runs for their team.
Matt henry took three wickets while Mitchell Santner and Green Philips took two wickets each from England team. Overall, I think both teams played well.
As England started I was expecting 300+ from them which was looking good target for the New Zealand but now after watching their performance look like 300+ is also not good because New Zealand is having excellent batting performance and with this performance we can expect another last four performance from this team because they can do anything on their day with bat and bowl.
During England batting few players done mistakes which hurt them badly, and they were not able to perform as they started but here we also need to praise New Zealand bowling which give their best in these hot and difficult conditions specially Matt Henry done good job with 3 wickets which was vital for them, and now they have been having impressive batting from the Conway and Ravindra both which are already passed centuries aggressively.
