Both teams have won their first two matches in Group B.
England will face New Zealand in the 12th match of the 2022 Commonwealth Games at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The Women in Blue have made it two wins from two games in Group B and had an impressive win over South Africa in their previous game. They have already reached the semi-finals and will be looking to finish well.
On the other hand, New Zealand had a comfortable win against Sri Lanka in their previous group and are at the top of the points table with the best overall performance. They went into the semi-finals with four points and a win here could be just the boost they need ahead of the tournament’s knockout stages.

ENG-W v NZ-W

ENG-W vs New Zealand 12th T20I Probable Playing XI:
England Women:
Danielle Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey, Natalie Siver (c), Amy Jones (c), Maya Bussier, Sophie Ecclestone, Catherine Brunt, Freya Kemp, Issy Wong, Sarah Glenn
New Zealand Women:

ENG-W vs New Zealand, 12th T20I, probably the best performer
Probably the best dough
Natalie Skiver:
Natalie Sciver was dismissed for just 12 off 14 balls against South Africa, but she is looking to make up for it. She has big punches and is pretty hard to fight when she gets in her sights. With the experience she gained in the T20Is for England, Sciver will look to lead the way in Heather Knight’s absence.
Probably the best bowler
Katherine Brandt:
Catherine Brunt delivered an economic spell against South Africa and her all-round effort played a major role in England’s victory. The right-hander started with an unbeaten 23-ball 38 that included four fours and one six and flourished with the ball, conceding just 16 runs and picking up a wicket in his three overs.
