New Zealand Playing XI vs England- 2nd T20I, England tour of New Zealand 2025:
Openers: Rachin Ravindra, Tim Seifert (wicketkeeper)
In the ongoing NZ vs ENG three-match T20I series, home team New Zealand will be looking to repeat the performance given in the first match, which ended without a result due to rain.
The Mitchell Santner-led side will be disappointed that rain disrupted play even though they were in a good position to win after restricting England to a chaseable score of 153.
The Kiwi team will hope that the situation will be different during the second T20 match, because there is less chance of rain in that match also.,
Having said that, the Blackcaps will look to maintain controllable control and put up a strong performance in all three aspects with the bat, ball and fielding to take a crucial 1-0 lead in the two-match series now.
New Zealand are expected to field an unchanged playing eleven, especially after the performance of the team’s bowling lineup.
The team management would like the batsmen to perform well in their first innings in this series.
The home team will open the batting with the pair of Rachin Ravindra and Tim Seifert, both of whom will try to give a good start to the team as well as score runs individually.,
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Mark Chapman, Tim Robinson, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (captain), Kyle Jamieson.
When it comes to New Zealand’s middle order, which will be followed by the openers, there were glimpses of form in the last series against Australia but was not able to perform consistently.
Players like Tim Robinson, Daryl Mitchell and James Neesham will be expected to make significant contributions by playing aggressively, as New Zealand have depth in their batting lineup.
The Blackcaps bat up to number nine with three all-rounders, Michael Bracewell, captain Mitchell Santner and Kyle Jamieson, who are capable of hitting the boundary.,
Regardless of the depth in the batting lineup, the onus will be on the top four batsmen to score most of the runs for the team and help them post a better score while batting first.
Bowlers: Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry
As far as the bowling attack of the team is concerned, it includes three fast bowlers and two spinners.
The responsibility of fast bowling will be handled by Jacob Duffy and Matt Henry, both of them will be entrusted with the responsibility of taking early wickets for the team and making things easy for other bowlers in the middle overs.
Fast bowling all-rounder Kyle Jamieson will take control of things as the third fast bowling option.
The spin bowling arsenal includes Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell, both of whom can bowl at any stage of the innings and will hope to do the same in the upcoming match.
