Coming in the middle order, Ben Stokes was at his lethal best for England in the last game against the Kiwis, as he slammed 182 off mere 124 balls. His knock featured 15 fours and nine maximums at a stunning strike rate of 146.7. Stokes will be eager to replicate a similar performance in the forthcoming game and help his side win the contest.
Probable Best Bowler
Trent Boult – New Zealand
The speedster was quite menacing with the ball in his last outing as he claimed a magnificent five-wicket haul for just 51 runs in his 9.1 overs. He will look to play a vital role with the ball in the upcoming game to keep his side ahead in the match.
