As per our prediction England will win todays first semi final of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 against New Zealand. When it comes to explosive batting, England is quite an intimidating side and if they managed to score anything about 200 then we don’t think that Kiwi’s will be able to chase that target.
