England play New Zealand in the 14th warm-up game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

England lost their opening warm-up match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 against India. They batted well to post 188/5 on the board. Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali top-scored with 49 and 43* respectively.

However, their bowlers failed to defend their total as India romped home with seven wickets to spare. England will look to bounce back in this game. They want to bring some momentum into the main event.

New Zealand are also coming off a loss in their first warm-up match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 against Australia. They posted a modest total of 158/ batting first. The top three batters got starts but could not convert it to a big score.

Mitchell Santner and Trent Boult picked up three and two wickets respectively as the bowlers tried hard. However, Australia got past the line on the penultimate delivery of the match.

Both teams will want to win this match. On that note, here are three players whom you can pick as captain or vice-captain for this ICC T20 World Cup 2021 warm-up clash.
