England vs New Zealand, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Match Prediction
England vs New Zealand Match Prediction: England have a stronger depth in the batting, which makes them the favourites against New Zealand.
The equation for England is simple - win the upcoming game against New Zealand in the World Cup 2019 or bow out of the tournament. Caught in a do-or-die game, the hosts England will be expected to bring their A game on Wednesday. After three losses in the league games - to Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia, Eoin Morgan's team need to win against New Zealand to keep their semi-final chances alive. And they have a very good reason to believe that they can come out the winners at Chester le Street.
On paper, the English side appear superior, with in-form batters and a solid middle-order that can post a target of anything close to 350 with ease. Players like Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler are all big hitters and all have struck form in this competition while Joe Root can play the role of an anchor to perfection.. They will be eager to ensure that their World Cup campaign does not end, which will make them even more dangerous. If the openers can see off the first powerplay, England will formly have the foot on the peddle.
New Zealand's batting, on the other hand, seems to revolve around Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor, with none of the other batters stepping up just yet. Though Martin Guptill ha a good record against England, his woes in this CWC 2019 have come to the fore, and Jofra Archer would be eager to exploit that.
Just considering the batting depth that England have, they are the favourites.
