... when New Zealand suffered a heart-breaking defeat
The memories of the final of the 2019 ODI World Cup will also be fresh in the minds of the players of both teams when England won the title for hitting more boundaries. It was a heart-wrenching loss for New Zealand, but despite this, their team has consistently performed well in ICC competitions. These include the title of World Test Championship.
Jason out, Butler-Bairstow on the job
England has suffered a setback due to the injury of opener Jason Roy. Roy and Jos Buttler have been the explosive opening pair of the tournament. Jason is out of the World Cup and in such a situation, Jonny Bairstow can go to open the innings with Butler. For England, players like Butler, Bairstow, and Moeen Ali have been special, who have the ability to turn the game on their own.
Sam Billings can be kept in the playing XI
Sam Billings can be kept in the playing XI as a middle-order batsman in place of Jason Roy. The positive aspect for England is that most of their batsmen have spent time at the crease and they are ready for the semi-finals.
The team's concern has increased after Tymal Mills was ruled out of the tournament due to a thigh injury in bowling. Mills was doing well in the death overs. This would be an area that the opposing team would like to take advantage of.
The role of Moin and Adil Rashid will be important
Mark Wood has the pace, but not the variety that Mills, he was the most expensive bowler against South Africa. England, however, will try to forget that defeat and start afresh. The role of spinners Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid will be important. They would like to put pressure on New Zealand by achieving successes in the powerplay and the middle overs.
New Zealand certainly has the best bowlers in the tournament, restricting a strong team like India for 110 runs. Even a dangerous team like Afghanistan could score only 125 runs against him.
NZ hopeful of Boult and Saudi pairing
It is not easy to face the dangerous pair of Trent Boult and Tim Southee who bowl with excellent line- lengths. Lockie Ferguson's exit due to injury could have messed up his strategy, but Adam Milne did not let him miss him. Both spinners Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner have also been effective.
New Zealand's batsmen have also left their impact so far. Opener Martin Guptill has scored the most runs for his side, while his partner Daryl Mitchell is also in form. Captain Kane Williamson is their reliable batsman and he would like to make a significant contribution in the semi-finals. The pitch of Abu Dhabi has been favorable for batting and big scores can be made in this match.
The teams are as follows -
England: Eoin Morgan (captain), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, David Malan, Adil Rashid, James Vince, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Tom Curran, Reece Topley.
New Zealand: Ken Williamson (capt), Todd Astle, Trent Boult, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Martin Guptill, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Sentner, Tim Seifert, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee,
