Twenty20 World Cup 2022

England was playing New Zealand in the World Cup to save and maintain their credibility. Yesterday England not only saved itself, but also showed a lot of stamina. Twenty-seven again showed his ability in cricket. New Zealand’s best efforts did not work. Australia, New Zealand and England are on five points each after playing four matches.

Showing confidence, England won the toss and decided to bat first. Understanding the gravity of this match, Jos Buttler took the responsibility on himself and batted aggressively. Took the approach of R or Across. He made a strong partnership of 81 runs in 10 overs with opener Alex Hales to give England the lead in the match. After Hales’ departure, Butler continued to play and was dismissed when the team’s score became very good. A mountain-like target of 180 runs was set for New Zealand, which was going to be difficult. England also changed their batting order which worked well for them. Butler batted so brilliantly that the match was out of reach of New Zealand.

Buttler got eight out of twenty overs done by spin bowlers who were heavy on the New Zealand batsmen. In front of Finn Allen, Moeen Ali started the bowling, which would be considered a surprise decision in Australia. New Zealand remained in the match as long as the partnership between Kane Williamson and Glenn Phillips lasted. But his batting collapsed under pressure as soon as Captain Williamson was dismissed. England benefited more from victory than New Zealand did not suffer from defeat. Amazing game is happening in thrilling world cup. Any team can be successful on its achhe din.

This victory of England has put hosts Australia in trouble. While New Zealand have to play Ireland, and Australia have to play Afghanistan, England will have to play Sri Lanka. The toughest match out of the three is going to be from England. Just yesterday Sri Lanka defeated Afghanistan. Sri Lanka are looking to upstage in Group 1 with four points.

Today India also has to play Bangladesh at the Adelaide Oval. There is also a chance of rain there. India should have the upper hand in ability and rhythm. It has to be seen whether Rohit plays with two spinners or with six batsmen? How serious is Kartik’s injury? And does Pant get a chance or not?
