New Zealand Wins Toss and Bats Against England

February 27, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and elected to bat first against England in a crucial T20 World Cup Super 8 match.

The match at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Friday is vital for New Zealand's semifinal hopes. A win would secure the second spot from Group 2, with England already qualified after previous victories.

New Zealand fielded the same lineup that comprehensively beat Sri Lanka, while England bolstered its spin attack by recalling Rehan Ahmed in place of Jamie Overton for this crucial encounter.
