New Zealand cricket team will lock horns with England in the NZ vs ENG 2nd T20I on Monday at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. The series is important for both sides as it serves as a preparatory ground for the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2026. The first T20I, which was scheduled to take place at the same venue on October 18, was abandoned due to incessant rain.
New Zealand have several positives heading into the tournament. White-ball captain Mitchell Santner returns after abdominal surgery, ready to lead a side boosted by the comeback of Rachin Ravindra, who endured a face laceration. England are led by Harry Brook, who steps in after being rested for the Ireland series.
