ENG vs NZ Live Streaming Details, 1st T20I: When and where to watch England tour of New Zealand 2025; match details, full squads
ENG vs NZ: The three-match T20I series will be a great opportunity for the Blackcaps to bring their ICC T20 World Cup preparations back on track after they were beaten at home by the Australians earlier this month. Mitchell Santner, the skipper, returns alongside star batter Rachin Ravindra.
England, on the other hand, is known for their aggressive brand of T20I cricket and has never failed to keep their spectators engaged on the screens. Harry Brook will be leading England in the series after a drawn series against South Africa at home.
While New Zealand crashed out of the group stages of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, England were the semi-finalists before losing against India. However, the two teams, New Zealand and England, had locked horns in the shortest of the game back in 2023, when the series ended in a 2-2 draw.

ENG vs NZ T20I Series: Winner Prediction
The England vs New Zealand series will begin with a new challenge for the English skipper, Harry Brook. The England team will relish batting at Christchurch, since it is a batting-friendly track that supports the aggressive gameplay of the Englishmen.
New Zealand might be looking forward to restoring better form with the return of Rachin Ravindra and the strengthening of their batting order with the return of captain Mitchell Santner. England remains the heavyweights for this match despite New Zealand playing under home conditions.
