ENG vs NZ top 5 players: In the first semifinal tonight, it is England taking on New Zealand. Here are the top 5 players to watch out for in this game!
We are down to the last 4 in the T20 World Cup. In the first semifinal, England face the Kiwis for a place in the all-important final!
Here are the top 5 players to watch out for in this huge clash:
Jos Buttler (ENG)
The vice-captain of England is the second-highest run-getter in the tournament so far, amassing 240 runs at a staggering average of 120!
In this high stakes game and with Jason Roy missing, the onus will be on him once again to provide England a great start!
Martin Guptill (NZ)
The Kiwi opener has been one of their reasons for success in this tournament. He has racked up 176 runs, averaging 35.20 while doing so!
Much like Buttler, NZ will rely on their hard-hitting opener Guptill to provide them with a great start.
Adil Rashid (ENG)
The leggie is the highest wicket-taker for England in the World Cup, claiming 8 wickets in 5 games for himself.
With Abu Dhabi’s large boundaries on one side coming to play, we expect Rashid to once again be effective tonight!

Ish Sodhi (NZ)
Matching toe-to-toe with the English leggie is the Kiwi one. Sodhi has also claimed 8 wickets in 5 games, and will once again be a key factor in how New Zealand perform in this big game tonight!
Trent Boult (NZ)
The left-armer has been in terrific form in the World Cup, claiming 11 wickets in 5 games. He is third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament, and the No.1 pacer on that list!
Boult has been phenomenal with both the new ball and the old, and we expect him to continue this run of form in the semifinal against the No.1-ranked T20 side in the world.
So these are the 5 players to watch out for in this monumental clash tonight!
