After two consecutive defeats, visitors New Zealand have the final chance to make a comeback in the series against England when they meet in the third game of the four-match T20I series. Kiwi skipper Tim Southee will have a job in his hands as he will have to ensure that they stay in the race when the 3rd T20I unfolds at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

England

The big-hitting English side won't mind going after the New Zealand bowlers once again as they boast some of the best hitters of the white-ball in the form of their captain Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone and highly-talented Harry Brook. In the previous game, Bairstow took the responsibility alongside Brook to ease them to 198 and in reply, the visitors were bundled out for a paltry 103.

Also, the defending champions, the Three Lions will be looking to try out potential upcoming stars as they have been doing so far.

New Zealand

The Kiwis without their regular skipper have been punished pretty badly until now after they came here on the back of a series victory against the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The batting hasn't clicked and the bowling has been a major part of their suffering.

Additionally, the runs have dried from the top order and wickets are difficult to manage. The BlackCaps would have to comeback stronger to remain in the series.
