Both the teams look extremely dedicated to get a favourable result. But rain does possess a minimal threat on today's match.
England vs New Zealand Match Preview
England and New Zealand will lock horns with each other in an all-important clash of ICC World Cup 2019 which could well decide the fate of the tournament. An English victory would see the hosts qualifying to the four of the tournament. Whereas, a defeat would end all the hopes of the Eoin Morgan-led side and see them get knocked out.
On the other hand, a victory for the Kiwis would confirm their berth in the semis. But, even if they fail to emerge as the winner they would still be left with a slight chance of making it to the knock-out stage of the tournament. They are at 11 points and a defeat would see them stay there. If Pakistan lose their next match against Bangladesh, the Kane Williamson-led side would be through and if Sarfaraz Ahmed & Co. earn a victory, net run-rate will decide who will qualify between both the teams.
