New Zealand vs England Match Prediction Tips | Who will win Today’s Match

2nd Test, Christchurch

Amid controversies that have enveloped the world of cricket, New Zealand and England are all-set to play the second Test at Christchurch. England had a forgetful start to the series, with a disastrous 58-run first inning.

The hosts bettered their excellent recent Test record at home, winning the match with a comfortable margin of an innings and 49 runs. Trent Boult was the star with the ball picking 9 wickets in the match, including 6/32 in the first innings. With the bat, skipper Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls made fine hundreds.

On the other hand, England had another difficult outing in the away conditions at Auckland, with ordinary shows with the bat as well as the ball. The tourists have only managed to one solitary win in their last seven overseas series, and that win came back in 2015 against South Africa.
