New Zealand vs England Chance of Winning

New Zealand headed into this series after an underwhelming performance against Australia and even though the opening game was called off due to rain, New Zealand had a lot of positives in the bowling department in the match as they gave nothing away and restricted England to 153 runs before the game was called off.

England headed into this series after an impressive run of games as they won six of the seven matches and are favourites to win the series. Any optimism in the England dressing room was washed away after a poor batting display in the opening game. As per our calculations, England are favourites in the upcoming game.

• New Zealand’ chances of winning - 42%
• England’ chances of winning - 58%

New Zealand vs England Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

New Zealand did not bat in the last game hence it doesn’t make sense to change our picks and we still expect Rachin Ravindra to make a mark in this series as he has done in this calendar year with 212 runs in just five matches.

Phil Salt struggled to make an impact in the last match as he scored three runs but we expect him to bounce back and do well as he has been one of the top T20 players for England in this calendar year.

New Zealand vs England Match Toss Prediction

Historically the teams that have bowled first have dominated the game in the past. The last four of the five matches have been won by the teams that have bowled first which makes us believe both sides would prefer to chase in the upcoming game.

Weather Report

We expect cloudy conditions in Christchurch during the game with minimum chances of any disruptions. Maximum temperature is expected to be 21C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 8C.

New Zealand vs England Betting Odds

England to have a better opening partnership than New Zealand

New Zealand and England head into this game after the opening game was called off due to rain. Even though the game was called off, New Zealand would take a lot of confidence from the game as their bowlers were sensational in the match. New Zealand struggled in the last series against Australia but we expect them to bounce back in the remaining games and compete against an in-form England team who headed into this series after six wins in the last seven matches. In the last game England openers had no answers to the New Zealand bowlers as they managed an opening stand of 11 runs and since we did not see New Zealand bat in the last we are going to stick to our guns and back England to have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
