The semifinal round has started in the World T20 and today we see New Zealand taking on the England. New Zealand topped the points table in Group B while England was in the second position in Group A. the two teams both look eager to take the early advantage.
New Zealand has just lost Martin Guptill. The flamboyant opener was feeling stuck in the crease due to some excellent new ball line and length bowling by the English new ball bowlers. Willey was swinging it both ways as well.
So Guptill tried to break the shackles by trying to hit a big one but Willey proved out to be much cleverer. He bowled it bit wide and as the ball moved away from the bat, Guptill edged it and Buttler did the rest.
This was an important breakthrough for England. They have bowled well. They kept it tight against Guptill who is known for his hard hitting abilities. He has given a lot of good starts to the kiwi team on which they have won many games as well.
But now it will be up to Munro and Williamson as they will have to take the charge. These two will have to get what Guptill has given them in the past. Munro, in particular, will be the key. He is a genuine hard hitter and has the capacity to hit series of boundaries.
New Zealand and England both will try the first-hand motion from the game. Guptill is the first key wicket for England. Now if they get a few more then surely they will get strength in the game. New Zealand will definitely like to retaliate back from this over and onwards.
