Pitch and weather
Brisbane’s Gabba Ground is considered to be Pacers Paradise, ie fast bowlers’ paradise, but batting becomes easier here in the later overs. Facing the new ball will not be easy. Both bounce and swing are available here.
A piece of news can upset the fans. Actually, the weather forecast in Brisbane tells that it is set to rain here on Tuesday. If this happens, then England will have to bear the brunt of it.
New Zealand’s spirits up
New Zealand is in excellent form at the moment. Both his openers are making good use of the powerplay. Glenn Phillips of New Zealand has also scored a century in this tournament. The opening pair of Finn Allen and Devon Conway does not give the opposition a chance to dominate. After this, class batters like Kane Williamson and Glenn Phillips are also with the Kiwi team.
Talking about the bowling, New Zealand is performing tremendously on this front. Apart from Trent Boult and Tim Southee, Mitchell Santner and Lockie Ferguson can put any team under pressure. He has proved it so far. These bowlers have been all out to the opposition team twice.
