It is a clash of titans on February 16, when England, world number two and New Zealand, world number three meet for a practice match at Karen Rolton Oval, Adelaide. The two sides boast of some power-packed players and there is no doubt that this match is going to be a cracker of a contest. In the ICC Women’s World, they have just met twice in T20s, with England dominating the White Ferns with a 2-0 lead.

Let’s find it out as the two sides set out to dethrone the defending Champions and world number one Australia.
