What time is England vs New Zealand and how can I watch it on TV?

England face New Zealand in a huge match to determine the chances of reaching the semi-finals for Jos Buttler’s side.

England’s defeat to Ireland and a washout against Australia has heightened the pressure on England here against the Black Caps.

Victory is therefore vital to ensure they retain control of their T20 World Cup fate, with Kane Williamson’s side able to play with greater freedom after wins over Australia and Sri Lanka.

The recent history between the sides and the unforgettable 2019 Cricket World Cup final sets up the prospect of another classic.

Prediction

England hold the upperhand in the head-to-head against the Black Caps, winning 12 of 22 T20Is with eight defeats. But their World Cup matches have returned three wins apiece. Tim Southee has proven dangerous so far, but if England can negotiate the veteran quick, they should have enough firepower to get over the line and kickstart their campaign.
