The two teams have quite the history when it comes to T20 World Cups, having met each other in the semi-finals in each of the last two editions — while England progressed in 2016 with a seven-wicket win in Delhi, it was the Black Caps’ turn to come out on top in Abu Dhabi last year thanks to a match-winning knock from Daryl Mitchell.
England began their campaign with a five-wicket win over Afghanistan, but were immediately brought to a screeching halt with a defeat against Ireland in a rain-affected game. Their highly-anticipated Ashes showdown against hosts Australia would later get washed out without a ball bowled, leading to the two teams splitting points.
New Zealand, on the other hand, are one of the only two teams yet to lose a game in this tournament, and like South Africa in Group 2, they sit on top of Group 1 despite being level on points with defending champions Australia (5), their superior Net Run Rate putting them ahead.
Squads:
New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway(w), Kane Williamson(c), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult, Martin Guptill, Adam Milne, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman
England: Jos Buttler(w/c), Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Chris Jordan, David Willey, Tymal Mills, Philip Salt
