In a top-of-the-table clash in Group 1, the 2019 ODI World Cup finalists- England and New Zealand- will meet in a Super 12 encounter at the Gabba in Brisbane.
While New Zealand, like they have so often in the past, have quietly delivered commanding performances away from the limelight on England, Australia and India, the Three Lions after their shocking defeat to Ireland and a washed-out fixture against Australia only have 3 points to show to their credit after 3 points.
In contrast, the Kiwis have 5 points from 3 matches with wins over the Kangaroos and Sri Lanka. The only game where they dropped points was the rain-abandoned match against Afghanistan.
Ahead of what can make for an absolute thriller of a game, here are the predictions for this match as well as the betting odds for match number 33 of the tournament.
1. Toss Prediction
New Zealand won 1 toss and lost the other in the T20 World Cup 2022 so far which means a 50 per cent toss-winning rate. On the other hand, England won both their tosses so far which is a 100 per cent toss-winning rate. So predicting England to win the toss.
2. Win Possibility
This is going to be tough call to make. In the previous 6 meetings at the T20 World Cup, New Zealand have won 3 and England have won 3 but going by the reputation of the T20I side as well as the current ICC rankings, predicting England to win the match.
3. Team of the Day
The Team of the Day is England. They are the number 2 ranked team in the world and despite not having the best of starts to their T20 World Cup campaign, one would expect them to stage a strong comeback.
4. Predicted powerplay score and average first innings total
The average first innings score at the Gabba in Brisbane in T20 World Cup 2022 so far has been 150 which Bangladesh made against Zimbabwe. This will be the second game at this venue on November 1 with the first match set to be played between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. The predicted powerplay score is expected to be in the range of 30-50.
