For the game at Cardiff between hosts England and New Zealand, it wouldn’t be wrong to admit that the Blackcaps dugout will be the more concerned one.
This happens, owing to their game against Australia being abandoned at Birmingham a few days ago, which seemed to be a certain victory. As a result of those points being equally shared, New Zealand now stares at an extremely precarious position. A loss to England could well mean the end of their campaign.
While New Zealand will be hoping for a miracle in the form of Bangladesh beating Australia to aid their chances, a lot depends on their own game against an in-form England outfit. England has been among the most improved sides of recent times and carries a lot of momentum going into the clash.
The Blackcaps will have to tick all boxes in order to get going and we have a look at the five tactics which they must use to defeat England at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.
