England started their four-game T20 series with New Zealand on a bright note with a seven-wicket win over the BlackCaps. The second game to be played at Old Trafford in Manchester is crucial for both sides as it can help determine which way the momentum can shift. The visitors batted poorly in the opener with none barring Glenn Phillips looking settled out there in the middle. The Black Caps are a formidable opposition and they have the requisite skills to take the game to the opposition but they will need to quickly get over the disappointment of the first match. Hosts England will stick to a similar game plan with their bowling unit in sublime form. England versus New Zealand will be telecasted on the Sony Sports Network and streamed on the Sony Liv app from 10:30 pm IST. Bizarre!

Jonny Bairstow and Will Jacks were the new opening pair for England and although the duo did not score big, there is an expectation they will come up well. Dawid Malan and Harry Brook did well in the middle order and their ability to spend time in the middle makes them special. In the bowling department, the spin twin of Adil Rasheed and Moeen Ali will be tough to get away for New Zealand.
Devon Conway at the top of the order will have to shoulder the run-scoring responsibility. If he gets to a flier, the team generally scores big. Tim Seifert in the middle order must stick around and forge partnerships in the anchorman role. Skipper Tim Southee was economical in the last game but will need to try and get some wickets here.
