ENG vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis
England are on top with back-to-back wins in the 4-match T20I series. Tim Southee and co. have failed in both departments on this tour.
After finishing 139-9 batting first in the 1st T20I, the Blackcaps ended up conceding 198 runs for just 4 wickets bowling first in the second. England have completely dominated the visitors in every aspect of the game.
The 3rd T20I will be played at Edgbaston where the average 1st innings score is 170 runs. Many of England’s players are coming straight out of The Hundred and will carry their momentum from the tournament.
There is no dearth of talent in the NZ lineup. Many of them have proven their mettle in international cricket and in franchise T20. Adam Milne will be a key bowler in the NZ pace department.
Though he’s been wicketless so far, he looks promising and had a good T20 season recently. This is a do-or-die match for the visitors with the series on the line.

TEAMS PREVIEW
England Preview
England continue to move from strength to strength in limited-overs cricket and they haven’t stopped dominating this format since they were crowned the T20I Champions in 2022.
Harry Brook is a great find and will be the next big thing. England are spoilt for choice when it comes to batting. There are many players in England who could come in and start delivering big performances with the bat.
Liam Livingstone, one of the biggest T20 stars in the world, bats at number 7 in this England lineup. That means even after the visitors have dismissed half the England side, there would still be a big-hitting, experienced, and reliable batter to take the attack to the opposition.
Another great thing going for England is the new bowlers coming in. The pace attack only keeps getting bigger and stronger with every season. Brydon Carse and Gus Atkinson have shown great potential and were among the top wicket-takers in the last two outings.
Adil Rashid leads the spin bowling and is in great form with some economical spells with the odd breakthrough now and then.
Dawid Malan at number 3 is a crucial figure in this batting order. He can be the anchor for the innings while others can come in and play the big shots and keep the momentum going.
England are in their best T20 era with the best talent in the world and will be a force to reckon with for the visitors.
England Predicted Playing XI:

New Zealand Preview
Tim Southee is leading a solid NZ squad that features some of the best T20 players around. To lose two back-to-back matches in this fashion isn’t a good sign for NZ going ahead.
Though a 199-run target is quite competitive and that too against a quality bowling attack, New Zealand’s lineup isn’t one that would fold up for just 103 runs in response.
Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips, and Daryl Mitchell are some of the big guns in this lineup who have proven their abilities on the big stage. They are strategically placed in the batting order where their contributions could make a huge impact.
An attacking Finn Allen opens the innings alongside Devon Conway who’s got a more balanced approach to his innings. Glenn Phillips comes in at number 4 with all guns blazing and can boost the run rate or even play a longer innings and finish the game for his team.
And then there is reliable Daryl Mitchell at number 6 for when NZ have lost their key players and need someone to play a balanced knock in the second half of the innings. Mitchell is someone who can pace his innings as the situation demands.
Finally, Mitchell Santner at 7 can hit the long ball and score quick runs. He has delivered good finishes in the past. In spite of all this, NZ are nowhere near to playing to their full potential.
Lockie Ferguson, Adam Milne, and Tim Southee have also been disappointing with their spells and have left NZ in a difficult situation.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:
Devon Conway, Finn Allen, Tim Seifert (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee (c), Lockie Ferguson

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch is a belter and will allow for some big scoring here in Edgbaston. Batters will be able to time the ball with perfection and play their strokes with confidence on this surface. The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 24 degrees Celsius on the match day.
ENG vs NZ Pitch Report
The 3rd T20I of the New Zealand tour of England will be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The average 1st innings score here is quite high and the team batting first will need to score at least 190 or 195+ to stay in the game.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have won all the T20Is here at Edgbaston so far. In the domestic T20s too, teams batting first have been more successful. An in-form England side would think to push further and post a massive total and put NZ on the back foot once again. Whereas the visitor would like to give their batters an opportunity to express themselves freely by choosing to bat first on this wicket.
ENG vs NZ
Winning Prediction
If we were to go by the squad strength, this would be a neck-to-neck contest. However, there have been two games so far in the series and the visitors have looked out of form. There isn’t a single player in their lineup who has shown any promise and can be relied on to lead a comeback. The home team on the other is on a roll. Their bowlers are consistently delivering breakthroughs while the batters have dominated the opposition at every opportunity they got.
