Preview:
England Women will be meeting the New Zealand Women in the second T20I on Saturday, September 4. England Women are already leading the three-match T20I series by 1-0, after winning the first match in Chelmsford by 46 runs.
A win in Hove will give them a series win, which would be their second T20I series win this summer, having beaten the Indian team 2-1 earlier this season. Despite having key batters at the top, the New Zealand team looks out of depth in the middle order, something which was visible during their loss in the first game. England has some in-form players and would start favourites in this game.
