ENG vs NZ Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter

Devon Conway

Conway showed great class and composure in the first match against Australia. He played second fiddle to Allen, when Allen was going beserk from one end, and then later after his dismissal, he took charge and started attacking. It is this ability to play according to the situation that makes him such a key player for New Zealand in this T20 World Cup.

Probable Best Bowler

MARK WOOD

The express pacer was breathing fire in the last two matches that he played. He is consistently taking 2-3 wickets per match. In the match against Afghanistan, he secured the record for the fastest spell ever in a T20 innings and his average speed in that match was 149kph. His brute pace and subtle variations may prove to be the difference in this match.
