New Zealand have kept themselves alive in the ongoing four-match T20I series against England as they registered 74-run win against England in the third T20I on Sunday. Both teams will now be coming against each other in the fourth and final match on Tuesday at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. England are already leading the series 2-1 as they now look forward to challenging New Zealand in the final match. 

Talking about last match, New Zealand had been helped by the comprehensive performances coming in from Finn Allen and Glenn Phillips who both scored (83) and (69) respectively. In the third match, New Zealand had won the toss and decided to bat as they handed the total of 202/5 to England on the back of half-centuries from Finn Allen and Glenn Phillips. On the other hand, England’s top order had collapsed very cheaply in the third match. Going into this match, both teams will have a huge task because, victory will be the sole motive for both teams. If New Zealand win the final match, then, the series will be drawn 2-2, if England win the last match, then, they will bag the series 3-1.

England Probable XI: Jonny Bairstow, Will Jacks, Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Liam Livingstone, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Gus Atkinson, Luke Wood

New Zealand Probable XI: Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Tim Seifert (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee (c), Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi
