After its defeat at the hands of India in the ICC Champions Trophy, England starts its T20I matches against visiting New Zealand at Oval Tuesday today.
Although, New Zealand won the ODIs against England 2-1, it too but faltered in the Champions Trophy group stage, albeit that the weather played a big role in two of their games. But New Zealand have the top two T20 batsmen in the world - Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum - according to the current rankings - who can upset the already demoralized hosts.
England have won seven out of nine T20s against New Zealand. The only previous T20 international played between them in England was a nine-wicket home victory at Old Trafford in 2008.
The likely opposing squads are as under:
England squad
EJG Morgan*, GS Ballance, RS Bopara, DR Briggs, JC Buttler†, JW Dernbach, AD Hales, MJ Lumb, KP Pietersen, WB Rankin, BA Stokes, JC Tredwell, CR Woakes, LJ Wright
