ENG vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for 4th T20I

England will take on New Zealand in the fourth T20I of the four-match series at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Tuesday. Ahead of the match, here's all you need to know about the ENG vs NZ Dream11 prediction, including fantasy cricket tips, today's playing 11s and the pitch report for this game.

It has been a high-scoring series but also one where there have been one-sided encounters. England thrashed New Zealand in the first couple of T20Is before New Zealand bounced back to make it 1-2 and keep the series alive.

England’s batting fired in the first two games and showcased it's might. However, they faltered while chasing 203 in the third T20I and had an off day. In fact, that was a clinical performance from the Blackcaps.

Both teams will be aiming to finish the series on a high before the focus shifts to the 50-over format. England have won five out of the six T20I series’ against New Zealand prior to this and will start as favourites to clinch their sixth T20I series win over the Kiwis.
