England’s excellent performance on New Zealand tour:
The England team performed brilliantly on the New Zealand tour and defeated the host team by 8 wickets in the first Test. England’s dominance was also seen in the second Test. After being all out for 280 runs in the first innings, England made a great comeback and bundled out New Zealand for just 125 runs. After this, Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell, Joe Root and Harry Brook put the team in a strong position with the help of half-centuries. England proved that they are a powerful team in Test cricket by coming close to an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. However, despite being out of the race for the WTC final, their performance was commendable.

England behind in the race for WTC final:
Even though England performed brilliantly against New Zealand, their chances of reaching the WTC final are almost over. The team won 10 and lost 9 out of the 20 Test matches played in the WTC, due to which it is at the sixth position in the points table. On the other hand, teams like India and Australia remain strong contenders in the race for the final. Sri Lanka and South Africa also have the opportunity to reach the final by improving their performance. This performance of England shows that even though the team is behind in the race for WTC, it has definitely created a new history with its game.
