The series between New Zealand and England promises to be a cracking contest. New Zealand will be boosted by the return of their captain, Mitchell Santner, and top-order batter Rachin Ravindra. Both the players missed the three-match T20I series against Australia earlier this month, and the Black Caps missed them badly.
New Zealand lost the series 2-0 and will be eager to make amends in their second home assignment of the ongoing season. Before losing to Australia, New Zealand had won three series in a row, including a tri-series that featured South Africa and Zimbabwe.
