The 1st Semi-Final Match of the T20 World Cup 2021/22 is scheduled to play England vs New Zealand on Wednesday, 10th November October 2021 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

England had been an unstoppable team in the group stage matches and beat the teams like Australia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the defending champions, West Indies. Their only loss came against South Africa which was very close where they gave tough time to South Africa. The participation of Jason Roy in this big match has a big question mark. He was injured during fielding in the match against South Africa and if he may not available, this could be a huge loss for the batting order of England. The batting order of England had been just amazing in this tournament in almost all matches they had played.

New Zealand came to the party after losing their match against Pakistan and beat the teams like India, Afghanistan, Namibia, and Scotland. We had seen some best performances in the bowling unit of New Zealand. They restricted the strong batting order of India on 110 runs and Afghanistan on a total of 124 runs. Tim Southee and Trent Boult had been leading this team in this tournament. Other bowlers like Adam Milne, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, and Ish Sodhi can also be effective in the conditions of Abu Dhabi.

England had faced New Zealand in 21 T20 International matches where they had won 13 while New Zealand had won 7 matches. One match between these two teams was ended with no result.

England is overall a strong team as compared to New Zealand at least on papers. According to our today prediction, England is the favorite team that will win this match. There are many factors that make England a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

The 1st Semi-Final of World Cup T20 2021 is going to be held at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Abu Dhabi is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
