New Zealand vs England Prediction
England have looked sharp since the start of this series, and I think their effort will once again be rewarded here. They have won even of their last eight, while New Zealand have lost their last three T20Is in Auckland. Elsewhere, I think Phil Salt will be a player to watch in this game. After scoring only 3 in the first T20I, he smashed 85 off 56 balls in the second. With two 80s and a career-best 141* in his last five T20I innings, Salt is in fine form for the Auckland match.
