New Zealand A v England - T20 match 1991/2 - Match Preview

New Zealand A v England - T20 match 1991/2 - Napier

Pitch: 3 - Normal

Weather: 6 - Cool and Showery

New Zealand A XI:

T.J.Franklin
B.R.Hartland
M.J.Greatbatch
K.R.Rutherford (c)
R.T.Latham RM
S.A.Thomson OB
A.C.Parore (wk)
G.R.Larsen RM
M.L.Sua LFM
W.Watson RFM
M.R.Haslam SLA

England XI:

G.A.Gooch (c) RM
M.A.Atherton
G.A.Hick OB
A.J.Lamb
N.H.Fairbrother
I.T.Botham RFM
R.C.Russell (wk)
R.K.Illingworth SLA
P.W.Jarvis RFM
M.P.Bicknell RFM
A.R.C.Fraser RFM

New Zealand A named an unchanged side from the 50 over game, while England made a couple of changes, the injury to Emburey meaning Illingworth gets a game as spinner.
Fraser and Bicknell also get their first game of the tour.
It will be interesting to see what England make of the T20 format, their side being a skilled at the 50 over game.
Could be closer than the ODI, but England probably remain too good for New Zealand A on current form.
