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. Things are the same in a bi-lateral tourney as the English Women have tamed the New Zealanders. Will New Zealand redeem itself this World T20? Let’s find it out as the two sides set out to dethrone the defending Champions and world number one Australia.
