England kicked off their five-match T20 series against New Zealand with a convincing seven-wicket victory on Friday and will be looking to make it two wins in a row when the pair meet again on Sunday.

New Zealand v England Betting Odds

England may have been comfortable winners in the first T20 but they go into the second as the slight underdogs at 11/10. New Zealand are 5/6 to claim the win and level the series at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington.

New Zealand v England Team News

Sam Curran and Pat Brown made their T20I debuts in Christchurch and are likely to feature again on Sunday.  All-rounder Lewis Gregory was not needed with either bat or ball on Friday and will be hoping for a chance in Wellington.


England are unlikely to make too many changes given their dominant performance in the series opener. New Zealand, who are without regular captain Kane Williamson, could well be tempted to shuffle their pack.


Stand-in skipper Tim Southee concedes his side were not good enough in that seven-wicket defeat but stopped short of saying changes will be made.

He said: "We were probably a little bit off in all three areas. We got a score on the board that we felt we could defend but we were a little bit off with the ball and in the field, which didn't help."

New Zealand v England Prediction

England to win @ 11/10 BET NOW


New Zealand will be looking for a reaction on Sunday, but England showed real quality in the first match despite fielding a fairly inexperienced team and can take a commanding 2-0 series lead.


The Black Caps missed the batting prowess of Williamson in the opener and could face an uphill struggle in the series without their captain. The tourists claimed a whitewash win over West Indies in their last T20I series and also beat Pakistan in a one-off and look good value to continue their winning run in the shortest format of the game.

Eoin Morgan Top England Batsman @ 4/1 BET NOW


James Vince top-scored for England in Christchurch with 59 from 38 balls but captain Eoin Morgan also made an impression with an unbeaten 34. Morgan managed his haul from just 21 deliveries and if he gets a chance on Sunday could be a real contender to be England's top batsmen.
