The two cricketing giants have their squads lined up with stars that have performed exceptionally well in the recent international tours or domestic T20 tournaments. They have a team they can rely upon with players of the highest skill set.
New Zealand have a brilliant set of players that will prove to be very handy in this warm-up game as well as prove to be lethal throughout the tournament.
