England vs New Zealand 2nd T20: Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between ENG vs NZ?

England (ENG) and New Zealand (NZ) are gearing up for the second T20I match of their four-game series at Old Trafford, Manchester. Following England's pretty one-sided seven-wicket win in the opener, fans would expect New Zealand to showcase more resilience.

Dawid Malan emerged as a standout performer in the opening game, marking his prowess with yet another T20I half-century. On the bowling front, Luke Wood, despite leaking a few runs, displayed his knack for taking crucial wickets. His left-arm pace and swing are anticipated to be a potent weapon, making him a top threat for the opposition team.

New Zealand's hopes rest on the formidable Devon Conway, whose consistency has yielded nine T20I scores of 50+. The left-hander's ability to navigate challenging situations makes him a solid player. Lockie Ferguson's pace and bounce are expected to pose a significant challenge to England's batting lineup, but he will need support from his other partners like Southee and spinners.

In spite of the disappointment of being sidelined for the ODI World Cup, Brooks has shown great batting form. He even scored a brilliant century in The Hundred and scored a quickfire 43 in the opening match as well. With a combination of pure technique and power, Brook's consistent performances make him a treat to watch. 

Probable Best Bowler- 

Adil Rashid:

In the first match, Rashid took a crucial wicket while conceding just 18 runs in his three overs. With his great control over line and length, Rashid remains a potent force in breaking partnerships and surprising opposition batters. Rashid, with his crafty leggies and brilliant googlies, can be a real threat for the Kiwis.
