Kane Williamson has seemingly no reason top change his set combination as New Zealand prepare to take on England in the first T20 World Cup semi-final on Wednesday. After losing their first game, the Kiwis have won the next four on the trot, including convincing wins over India and Afghanistan to make it to the final four. Williamson has refrained from making any changes during either of those, and the Blackcaps skipper is likely to trust the same combination despite the threat posed by England.
Abu Dhabi is one of the best scoring grounds during the T20 World Cup, and for a crucial fixture could work against the Kiwis, unless it is a forced change. As of now, Kane Williamson has his full squad at disposal and will be ready for England when they take the field on Wednesday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

In Santner, Williamson has a quality spinner to shut down the flow of runs, while Ish Sodhi has also been amongst the wickets during the event. Meanwhile, Tim Southee and Trent Boult continue to be menacing, while Adam Milne has filled in well during the absence of Lockie Ferguson, who was ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
