Toss Prediction for the NZ vs ENG Match
The team winning the toss might opt to bowl first. The average 2nd innings and 4th innings total are higher than the average 1st and 3rd innings total. Hence, both teams might look to bat second. New Zealand is known for its flat pitches and bowling first will allow the teams to attack the opposition with a lethal pace and swing attack.
