NZ vs ENG, T20I Series, Match 2 Pitch Report

The Hagley Oval's surface will offer assistance to pacers initially with the new ball. With a little bit of rain in the past few days, we can expect the surface to behave two-paced in the middle overs. Nevertheless, it's going to be a batting paradise with short boundaries on offer.

Match Winner: New Zealand

As seen in the first T20I, England batters failed to live up to expectations on a good batting wicket. On the other hand, New Zealand bowlers had a good time with the ball in hand. That said, we can expect the Blackcaps to come out on top and take a 1-0 lead in the series.
