Ross Taylor won the toss for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465’s England, to start off shortly at the Pallekele International Cricket stadium in Kandy.
Both sides are entering the match at the back of defeats, with New Zealand beaten by Sri Lanka and England demolished by the West Indies. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BB-McCullum-c1129 and the skipper himself came next and contributed 25 and 23 runs before the Kiwis finished on 174 in their 20 overs, a fair total, given the batting friendly Pallekele wicket.
However, the Kiwis lost the game on account of their bowling, with their frontline pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758’s way.
The English on the other hand, lost the toss against the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032 (71), the Poms would have faced another humiliating defeat. However, with their contributions, the side was able to reach 164 in 20 overs, losing by a respectable, 15-run margin.
With conditions bright and Sunny at Pallekele, a full match should be on view. Changes in the English camp have been made, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Danny-Briggs-c1315. Bresnan, who is handy with both bat and ball, should bring much needed stability in the batting order, while Briggs will be making his first World T20 appearance.
The Kiwis on the other hand, have made only one change, with all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Nicol-c2331 and Guptill to provide the Kiwis with a solid launch pad as the result of this match will decide which team will have a chance for the Semis.
