NZ vs ENG Key battles:
Tim Seifert vs Luke Wood
New Zealand's wicketkeeper batter Tim Seifert, who got off to a start in the previous match, wasn't able to convert it into a big score while batting at the top of the order and would look to do taht in the last game of the series.
Seifert will have to tackle the bowling of Luke Wood, who will be entrusted with the responsibility of picking wickets in the first six overs for England.
Mark Chapman vs Adi Rashid
Like Seifert, Mark Chapman also got going in the second T20I, but his innings was cut short by Liam Dawson after scoring 28 runs. The batter would hope to take his team over the line in the next game.
Chapman will go head-to-head against Adil Rashid, who would wish to replicate the same performance he delivered in the second game, where he picked up a four-for.
Jos Buttler vs Jacob Duffy
England's former white ball skipper Jos Buttler would be itching to get a big score under his belt when he bats in the upcoming game after missing out on doing so in the previous game.
Buttler will be up against Jacob Duffy, who got the better of him in the previous outing between the two teams.
Harry Brook vs Mitchell Santner
England's present white ball skipper, Harry Brook, would want to keep up the good work he did in the second T20I against New Zealand by playing what eventually turned out to be a match-winning innings of 78 runs off 35 deliveries
Brook will face the challenge of Mitchell Satner, who will have to lead from the front for New Zealand to increase their chances of winning the game.
