ICC World Twenty20 is about to make a sparkling end by this Sunday, but the teams playing this time have gone through lots of twists and turns, some winning and some losing matches against each other. Many cricket teams gave their shots on the field, but only four teams qualified for semi-finals, including England, New Zealand, West Indies, and India.
The first semi-final of ICC World Men’s T20 will be quite exciting to watch where New Zealand and England will give a tough match against each other. Both teams have gained success in accepting contrasting tactics up till now. Both have worked on their strengths in all the conditions, and managed to create a strong attack with their talented batsmen and bowlers. It is the second time England and NZ have reached World T20’s semi-finals.
England lead by 8-4 wins over NZ in head-to-head T20Is, involving 6 consecutive wins from February 2008 to February 2013. Well, it seems England has better chances to win this semi-final, but nothing can be said in T20 semis. Both teams might have prepared themselves superbly for today’s match.
New Zealand: They have the ability of making eccentric team member selections. By now they have learned to adapt to different ground conditions in a great way. They have been selecting the right players for suitable courses so far. In semi-final, they’ll show their finest side.
England: England team is anticipated to stick to the same eleven players. Their batting is the main strength, and they would like to rule with it. Kotla ground’s short boundaries will surely help them. They have the benefit of playing 2 games over here earlier, so they’ll make the best use of it today.
When: Semi Final 1, 30 March, 2016, 7.00 PM IST
Where: Feroz Shah Kotla ground, New Delhi
What to expect: Weather is expected to be good, though dew might be a factor
