This is the match which decides who will face Australia in the final series. Both England and New Zealand are on 9 points, with the head-to-head being 2-1 in New Zealand's favour. New Zealand have won their past two matches against England and England's only win against New Zealand came in their first match-up of the series where they won with one ball remaining. However, England were able to defeat Australia easily (with a bonus point) in their last match.
The match is being played at the Gabba in Brisbane. I think New Zealand will win this match. Not only do I think they are a better one-day team, but they are better at adapting to one-day situations and scenario's than England. This point is exemplified in the efforts of 2nd innings batting by the two teams. England tend to fold and lose wickets easily batting second, while New Zealand chase a total as well, if not better, than the Australian side. Englands bowling isn't great either. New Zealand to win, but a hard match to pick!

I'm leaning towards england just because they beat Australia and they will have high confidence levels going into the match but all depends on their openers performing and giving them a good start.. hopefully for them Ed Joyce will give a repeat performance...
