After being thumped in the series opener, the way New Zealand have worked over their mistakes and papered over the cracks to rout England and avenge their defeat in the ensuing two has been accolade worthy. The side have been clinical in the last couple of matches to not only restore party in the series but take a 2-1 lead as well after three encounters, seeing the side cruising towards a series win come today.
With the side having laid down the marker and establish their authority across the five match series, the hosts will be looking to make the most of the momentum they carry into today’s impending clash and seal the series in their favour. They come into the impending clash having tasted consummate success the last time around in a 14 run win, one which saw them defend their 180 run total with relative ease.
While the Black Caps are flourishing, the English on the other hand find themselves in a predicament. Their bowing unit has been cut short and ripped into with the fallout of their dwindling bowling efforts being too much for the side to address. They have kept losing wickets at regular intervals in the batting department as well with the side being outplayed in all the departments of the game, a discourse which leaves them needing to pick up the pieces if they are come out and square the series in today’s clash.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
A sublime surface to come out and play your shots on, creaming the ball to the fence will be extremely easy on this track. The small boundaries will only add to the misery of the bowlers who are set to receive a battering in this one.
With the surface set to remain the same for the full 40 overs, the side winning the toss will be looking to come out and chase here.
