England’s loss to Ireland last week means they have to beat the Black Caps. If they fail to, Joss Buttler’s side will be left hoping for an unlikely Afghanistan victory over Australia in order to progress to the semi-finals. Sam Curran goes into the game with the tournament's best bowling figures - 5/10 in England's opening match against Afghanistan. He has taken 7 wickets in the tournament. His teammates in the top order need to start putting some big runs on the board though.

New Zealand have been excellent in the two games they have played, beating Australia and Sri Lanka. They also boast a ferocious bowling attack in the form of Trent Boult and Tim Southee. The former took 4 wickets for 13 runs against Sri Lanka, while the latter has a bowling economy of just 2.91 in the tournament.

It doesn’t tend to be boring when these two meet. We all remember that dramatic ODI World Cup final in 2019… They met in the T20 World Cup semi-final last year too. New Zealand won by 5 wickets with an over to spare. Some of the players may have changed, but England will want not want their hopes dashed again by the same team.

This game has the potential to be explosive. Find out if it can deliver by watching the England vs New Zealand live stream.

How to watch the England vs New Zealand live stream wherever you are

The England vs New Zealand live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long term.

ExpressVPN

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sky Sports or another service and watch the T20 contest.

The England vs New Zealand live stream will be shown live in the U.K. on Sky Sports and via the Sky Go app.  

If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. If you don't have Sky at all, it'll cost you at least £41/month, depending on which other channels you choose.

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £13/month for the TV, plus a sky sub on top of that.  

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £11.99 or month-long access for £33.99. 

All sounds great, right? But if you're not in the U.K., you can still follow the South England vs New Zealand live stream by using one of the best VPN services, such as ExpressVPN.

If you choose the Willow TV route, you can watch via various cable packages including Dish, Fios, Spectrum, Xfinity and more.

However, right now Sling is offering a 50% off discount for the first month of its regular services.
