Unchanged zealand

Unchanged New Zealand: New Zealand elected to bat first against England in their Group 2 Super 8s clash in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on Friday.

England have made one change to their playing XI, bringing in Rehan Ahmed in place of Jamie Overton as they tweaked their combination for the contest. Meanwhile, New Zealand have opted for stability, naming an unchanged XI.

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner said, "We will bat first. You’ve got to win games if you want to win a World Cup. So first things first, we’ve got to try and get that win on the board. We know what might happen if the pitch plays the same as the other night, but we’re ready for the challenge. It looks pretty good, to be fair. Last game, it probably played better than we expected.
