Kane Williamson

Black Caps skipper Kane Williamson has scored two centuries so far in the tournament and his failure to bat through in the last two games for the team, cost them the game. He is so integral to the team that his wicket is considered as the battle half won in the opposition camp which is good and bad at the same time.  Live Cricket Streaming of England vs New Zealand Match on Ten Sports, Hotstar and Star Sports: Watch Free Telecast and Live Score of ENG vs NZ ICC CWC 2019 ODI Clash on TV and Online.

Trent Boult

The man for all seasons and all formats of the game, New Zealand pacer Trent Boult has been in fine form in England. A hat-trick against Australia may be forgotten since his team lost a one-sided contest but showed what a quality bowler he is. Against English batsmen who like to attack in the death overs, the contest will be quite intriguing.

Jason Roy

England depends a lot on this talented opener as was evident in their brilliant batting display against India. Roy gives them the kind of start which the middle order then builds upon and is one of the reasons England consistently score in excess of 300.

Ben Stokes

English all-rounder Ben Stokes has been brilliant in all departments for his team in the World Cup. With 370 runs and 6 wickets in the tournament, the burly player has dominated the headlines like no other England player. He will have to be at top of his game once again in a must-win match against New Zealand.

Liam Plunkett

New Zealand have shown their vulnerability to pace in the losses against Pakistan and Australia and this is where Liam Plunkett could be vital for the hosts. He picked up crucial wickets in the middle periods against India and will be eager to repeat the same in this must-win match.
