Date: November 10, 2019
Time: 6:30 AM IST
Match Preview:
This has been a terrific series so far in which both teams have had their moments of domination. England overpowered the hosts convincingly in the series opener but New Zealand came back strongly in the next two matches to gain the lead in the series. The pressure was on England to win the fourth match as the Kiwis needed to win just this game in order to seal the series. But Dawid Malan and Eoin Morgan came up with stupendous batting performances which was followed by a clinical bowling performance from the English bowlers to square the series level. The two teams now head on to the Eden Park to play the series decider. And it is going to be a cracker of a contest for sure.
Weather Conditions:
Weather forecasts are not bright as rain is expected. So we might get a shortened game.
Pitch Conditions:
The pitch is extremely good for batting as is the case with most tracks in New Zealand. The boundaries are also short which will help the batsmen further.
