The English team is looking dangerous and their stars are highly motivated to win the title for the first time at their home ground. Here. we want to discuss the English players who will lit against New Zealand on Sunday.

  • Jason Roy

Jason Roy will possess the biggest threat to Kiwis bowlers. Kiwis bowlers, especially Trent Boult, Matt Henry is on fire in this tournament, but they will face a huge test against this magnificent batsman. Jason Roy was the most prolific batsman against Australia in the semi-final and scored a whopping 85 runs from 69 deliveries. When he was injured in the round robin stage, England was suffering. If he will settle in the crease tomorrow, Kiwis pacers will be in deep problem and the chances of England to score big will vastly increase.

  • Joe Root

Joe Root is one of the most productive players of this tournament. He’s holding the grip of England’s middle order. Joe Root is the fourth highest scorer in this tournament with 549 runs. It’s quite assumable that he will try to extend his superiority in the highest scorers chart. Black Caps have a huge task to beat him. He only scored 24 runs in their last encounter at the group stage. Joe will be more motivated to score a big this time, prolong his tally and clinch the trophy for the first time ever for his country.

  • Chris Woakes

Christ Woakes is in mesmerizing form since the start of the tournament. English pacer also broke the Australian batting lineup in the last game in the semi-final. He already took 13 wickets in this tournament and he is looking more hungry as the tournament is getting closer to finished. Chris is much more confident and surely try to create another havoc in the last game. The batting lineup of Kiwis is not doing a good job, especially their openers are absolutely out of form. Only Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor are getting runs for the Black Caps. New Zealand should be aware of the threats of Christ Woakes and his partner Jofra Archer.
