England would be facing off against New Zealand in the first semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2021 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, November 9. The match has a start time of 7:30 pm. England have had a good tournament so far up until the last Super 12 stage match against South Africa where they ended up losing the game. Not just that but they also lost Jason Roy to injury with James Vince named his replacement. Eoin Morgan's men have been fairly dominant in the competition, winning four matches quite comprehensively. New Zealand on the other hand, also have been one of the most consistent sides in the competition this year. The World Test Champions suffered a loss in their first match but did not do much wrong in their next four Super 12 stage matches and now, they would be up against a daunting English line-up. T20 World Cup 2021: It’s England’s X-Factor vs New Zealand’s Consistency in First Semifinal

The pace duo of Trent Boult and Tim Southee have been one of the best in this competition and it would very interesting to see how they perform against the likes of Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow, both of whom are expected to open the innings for England after the injury of Jason Roy. Sam Billings in expected to slot in the middle-order and Morgan would rely on his bowlers to perform as they have been doing. The Kiwis meanwhile would have a lot of hope on Martin Guptill's performance as he has been solid at the top of the order. Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips and captain Kane Williamson too have been occasionally good. ENG vs NZ Dream11 Team Prediction: Tips To Pick Best Fantasy Playing XI for England vs New Zealand, Semifinal Match of ICC T20 World Cup 2021
