ENG vs NZ Fantasy Prediction: England vs New Zealand 2nd Test – 10 June (Birmingham). Devon Conway, Joe Root, James Anderson, and Trent Boult are the best fantasy picks for this game.

Hosts England will take on New Zealand in the 2nd test match of the two matches series. The two teams with some brilliant pacers are up against each other.

England managed to draw the first game, and they would want to get a win here. Rory Burns batted well in the last game, whereas Joe Root also looked solid. Anderson and Broad need to bowl well, whereas Wood would like to continue his form. However, the team will miss the services of Ollie Robbinson in this game.

New Zealand would want to win the series by winning this game. Devon Conway made a brilliant debut in the last game, whereas Latham and Taylor need to step up. The pace trio of Boult, Wagner, and Jamieson is going to play a big part. Kane Williamson and Santner will miss this game due to injuries, whereas Tim Southee can also miss out.

Pitch Conditions 

The average 4th innings score at this ground is just 156 runs. Both teams would want to bat 1st on this track. We can expect a grass covering in this game on the pitch.

Probable XI for both sides:-

England – Rory Burns, Dominic Sibley, Zak Crawley, Joe Root, Ollie Pope, Daniel Lawrence, James Bracey, Stuart Broad, Mark Wood, James Anderson, Olly Stone.

New Zealand – Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Will Young, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, BJ Watling, Colin de Grandhomme, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Trent Boult, Neil Wagner.
