Off-late England and New Zealand matches are one of the most exciting matches to watch. Starting from the ICC ODI World Cup Final in 2019, there is always something extra that comes when these two nations play each other.

Today’s match was equally important for both teams because if New Zealand had to win today, they would be the first team to register their spot in the Semi-finals, and if England were to win, then, they would push Australia to the edge of the cliff from the ICC T20 World Cup.

However, England did emerge victorious in today’s fixture. They gave an all-round performance. They knew they needed the win today and you could see it in their performance. The English openers had not got many runs up till today’s match, but today they lead from the front and put up an opening partnership of 81 runs.

When the best batsman of the team performs, it is regarded as a good day for the team and that is what happened today, the English Captain Jos Buttler was awarded the Man of the match award for his excellent batting display.
