NZ beat ENG Highlights: T20 World Cup Semifinals: Kane Williamson’s New Zealand have avenged their 2019 WC final heartbreak by knocking Eoin Morgan’s England out of the T20 World by an emphatic 5 wickets victory in the first semi-final of T20 World Cup here in Abu Dhabi. Chasing 167 runs target, the Kiwis faced big blows in the early on and were under pressure for most of the run chase but Daryl Mitchell’s unbeaten 72-run knock aided by James Neesham’s quickfire cameo of 27 runs off just 11 balls helped New Zealand defeat England by five wickets to enter their maiden final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. New Zealand will now face the winner of the second semi-final between Pakistan and Australia in the summit clash on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium.

NZ beat ENG– Highlights: Kane Williamson’s New Zealand avenges 2019 WC defeat to enter FINAL, kicks England out of T20 World Cup
Put into bat England posted a good total of 166/4 on the back of Moeen Ali’s fifty and Dawid Malan’s 46 in the first semi-final here in Abu Dhabi. With No Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow came up the order and started the innings with Jos Buttler. Both the openers added 37 runs for the first wicket before Adam Milne removed Bairstow in the sixth over to provide the first breakthrough to the Kiwis. Buttler and Malan steadied the innings before Ish Sodhi got rid of the in-form Joss Buttler. At the halfway mark, England’s score read 67/2 with Dawid Malan and Moeen Ali at the crease.

Changes – England: Sam Billings comes in place of J Roy. Jonny Bairstow will pair up with J Buttler to open the innings
Changes – New Zealand: Same team.
Tim Southee: “It’s been a while since 2019, so we haven’t talked anything about it. It’s a different format for a start and a different group of guys. We are just excited to be here. You are into a tournament hoping to be here at the latter stages, hopefully, we can continue the form we have shown in the previous weeks. The experience of the guys, we were dealt with a blow early on with Lockie Ferguson ruled out. Having Adam Milne come in, hasn’t played a lot of international cricket in recent years, but he’s had a good season in England playing in the Hundred and County. It’s great to have some experience in the bowling unit. As a group, we have adapted to the conditions. All three grounds have offered different challenges and we’ve been able to assess that”
Eoin Morgan: “Roy misses out today, obviously he’s disappointed because he’s played a big role for us in this tournament, and to miss out on a semi-final is devastating. However, Billings gets another chance. He’s been doing the hardwork and carrying the drinks for us, and it’s a big opportunity for him. Bairstow will open today, instead of Roy, since he’s done it really well in the past. We can’t take New Zealand lightly at all, they’ve been playing semi-finals and finals for a lot longer than we have, so we’ll have to play out of our skins to beat them. Looking forward to a great contest today.”
Kane Williamson: “We’re bowling first. It’s a good pitch but a bit of dew later. We’re going in with the same team. Busy period for us, and we’ve come through, giving in good performances. The two most experienced bowlers have bowled beautifully throughout the tournament, and after Lockie, Milne has come in and done well too. England has a lot of depth, that’s their strength, and we have the opportunity to play our own brand of cricket to make it to the final.”
Toss Update: New Zealand have won the toss and have opted to bowl first.

T20 World Cup semi-final – ENG vs NZ Live: England topped Group 1 and knocked opponents South Africa out of the tournament last week. On the other hand, New Zealand sealed their place in the 2021 semi-finals in style courtesy of a comfortable eight-wicket win over Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi.
In the 2019 ODI World Cup final, the tournament witnessed a first-ever Super Over in which England defeated New Zealand to lift their maiden title on the basis of boundary countback rule at the Lord’s Cricket Ground.

The 50-over game between England and New Zealand ended in a tie and the teams then took the field for the Super Over.
In the Super Over, both teams managed to score 15 runs each but England was announced as the winner as they had hit more boundaries in the allotted overs.
In case semi-final games are tied, a Super Over will be played and if that also doesn’t help in deciding the winner then another Super Over shall be staged until there is a clear winner.
ENG vs NZ Live: New Zealand seek revenge of 2019 WC Final heartbreak against England – Follow Live Updates
T20 World Cup semi-final – ENG vs NZ Live: As per ICC, after a tie, weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, or if the match is abandoned or a no result, then the side that finished first in its Super 12s Group will progress to play the summit clash.
While New Zealand is coming on the back of a win in the semi-finals, England have their feet on the ground following a first defeat of the tournament last week.
England will be without the services of Jason Roy who was forced off with a calf injury having made 20 off 16 balls as England looked to chase down 189 in their last Super 12 stage match.
