New Zealand will take on England in a three-match T20I series, starting in Christchurch on Saturday, October 18. There were a few bright spots in the couple of games against Australia but not having the likes of Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips and Will O’Rourke was visible for the Black Caps, having been unable to land the killer blow despite some competent individual performances. Regular skipper Mitchell Santner will be back for New Zealand for the England series and so will be Rachin Ravindra and that will improve the all-round strength for the hosts.
On the other hand, England are coming off a decent white-ball run at home against South Africa and Ireland and this tour will tick another box in the two-time champions’ preparation for the T20 World Cup in four months’ time. England have already announced their XI for the opening clash and have gone batting heavy and it will be interesting to see how the Kiwis counter that, having seen Mitchell Marsh pile on runs for fun in the two completed games a couple of weeks ago.
