ENG vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis
With a vastly improved team display, New Zealand achieved a resounding victory over England at Edgbaston, shifting the series score to 1-2 with one more match in the pipeline. The losing margin of 74 runs was one of the most substantial defeats England had faced in T20Is offering a form of retribution to Tim Southee's side after their 95-run defeat at Old Trafford in the second T20I. Furthermore, this result paved the way for New Zealand to strive for an equalizing victory at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.

TEAMS PREVIEW
England Preview
England's performance in the third T20I was disappointing, a far cry from their recent commanding displays. They first allowed New Zealand to post 202-5 on the board on a wicket that was offering something to the quick bowlers. Then, they bottled up the chase and were bundled out for just 128. Only captain Jos Buttler left a mark with a scintillating 40 off just 21 balls.
The home side, though, won’t be too perturbed with that performance and will chalk it out to a bad day in the office. After all, this is one of the strongest batting units in T20 cricket right now.
Jos Buttler will, of course, be their main batter to watch out for again. He has now scored 371 runs in his last 10 matches at an average of 53 and a strike rate of 152.
Harry Brook (149 runs in his last 7 matches at an average of almost 30 and a strike rate of 146) is the flavor of the season for England. He did fail in the previous game, but Brook has been in terrific touch, and we can expect another stellar performance from him.
Jonny Bairstow has failed twice in this series, but when he clicked, he went on to score a sublime unbeaten 86. He is the team’s opener in this series, and we are backing him to deliver in the final T20I.
When it comes to the bowling department, England can take heart from the impressive display of their emerging new ball bowlers, Gus Atkinson and Luke Wood. They are both young and inexperienced but have bowled with plenty of heart. Chris Jordan has been excellent at the death as usual, but England’s spinners have taken quite a beating and will need to do better.
England Predicted Playing XI:
Jonny Bairstow, Will Jacks, Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood, Gus Atkinson

New Zealand Preview
Finn Allen's explosive innings of 83 off 58 deliveries, combined with Glenn Phillips' lightning-fast 27-ball half-century, propelled New Zealand to a commanding total of 202-5 in the third T20I. Following that, England's chase crumbled on a wearing pitch, with each of the bowlers making valuable contributions.
The spin pair of Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner posted impressive combined figures of 4 for 53 from seven overs, a stark contrast to the less effective 1 for 98 from eight overs delivered by Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone.
Kyle Jamieson is looking better with each game. The tall, fast bowler returned figures of 3-23 from 4 overs and is slowly but surely getting back into his groove after the long injury layoff. Captain Tim Southee, too, led from the front, taking two wickets for 30 runs from 3.3 overs.
This Kiwi bowling attack suddenly looks a lot better, with Jamieson coming back to form, Matt Henry being economical, and the spinners among the wickets.
New Zealand will also be counting on either Devon Conway or Tim Seifert to rise to the occasion and make a significant impact. Both have been out of runs in this series, but have been pivotal to the team’s batting unit in recent times.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:
Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Tim Seifert (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee (c), Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Trent Bridge traditionally offers a batting-friendly surface for T20 cricket. The pitch is generally flat and true, favoring strokeplay and high-scoring encounters. Batters enjoy the pace and bounce on offer, making it an ideal venue for big hits. Fast bowlers, especially early on, can get good bounce from the surface. This might result in seam movement and surprises for the batters. Pacers who skillfully mix their lengths can cause problems for batters.
The weather in Nottingham will be very warm, clear, and pleasant.

The average score batting first at Trent Bridge is 165. The highest total posted at the venue is Pakistan’s 232-6 against England in 2021. The average runs per over here is 8.09 per over, meaning we can expect another high-scoring encounter. The team batting first would look to set a total of around 190 runs.
Toss: To Bat
The team batting first has won eight of the 13 T20Is played at Trent Bridge. With the weather forecast to be clear, the toss-winning team will almost certainly bat first in the last T20I and attempt to produce a large total.

Winning Prediction
Despite that loss in the third T20I, England will have the edge in this match. Their batting might have failed in the previous game, but they are just too strong and are likely to come back hard. England’s only disadvantage is their inexperienced new ball bowling attack, which the Kiwi batters will target again. On this good batting surface, New Zealand should put up another strong batting show. However, we feel England won’t mess up again, and their batting might will help them seal the series.
We are backing England as the winners of the final T20I.
