Short stories: The two teams recently met in a three-match T20I series in Australia, which they won 3-0. New Zealand also entered the tournament without a win in 10 matches in a row but the way they faced India, from ball one, was the opposite of their recent form and it was the best start they could have had before their run in the playoffs. Tasman rivals. Bowling is less important in Sharjah in the evening game as not much dew is expected there, which is evidenced by the victories registered by the batting teams there in the evening games. The pitches there have been low, turned, and not giving much to the batsmen, with not a single team passing 120, before the match between England and South Africa.
