Aakash Chopra- “England openers to make more runs than the New Zealand ones” in T20 World Cup 2021

Aakash Chopra has predicted the semi-final match between England and New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2021.

England qualified for the final four by winning Group 1 in the Super 12 stage. In the meantime, New Zealand edged over Team India for second place in Group 2 to make the cut.

“England openers to make more runs than the New Zealand ones. Who will open for England along with Buttler? But whoever opens, I feel Jonny Bairstow but we shall find out, Dawid Malan can also open, Liam Livingstone can also go up the order. In the opposing team, Daryll Mitchell will be there with Martin Guptill, both have played one-one good knock in this tournament. I am going towards England in that respect.” He elaborated

The cricketer-turned-commentator also believes the Eoin Morgan-led team will score more goals than the Kiwis.

“England to hit more fours and sixes. Not because the result is going to be decided by fours and sixes. Here, you will have Super Over after Super Over but it might not go till there. But the team which hits more fours and sixes, that is of course England and they are going to hit more is what I feel.” Aakash Chopra predicted

England is recognized for its aggressive style of cricket, with a focus on huge strokes. They even beat the Kiwis in the 2019 ODI World Cup final on the boundary count after the match, resulting in a tie in the Super Over.

Kane Williamson and Devon Conway, according to Aakash Chopra, will make a good contribution to New Zealand’s total.

“Kane Williamson and Devon Conway will together score more than 60 runs. These two are the backbone of this team’s batting. Kane can bat and Devon Conway is playing very well, he will go a long way.” He said

England will undoubtedly be the favorites in this evening’s match. However, they may be limited slightly by the absence of Jason Roy, which the Williamson-led team can exploit.
