The match is scheduled to begin at 6:30pm, with both sides competing in the Twenty20 format, which sees each team face a maximum of 20 overs.

Following the opening fixture in County Durham, England and New Zealand will meet at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground on Thursday 9th September before concluding their IT20 series at Sophia Gardens on Saturday 11th September 2027.

What Happened in the Previous Fixture Between England and New Zealand at Banks Homes Riverside?
England and New Zealand last met in a men’s T20 international at Chester-le-Street on 30th August 2023, when the Banks Homes Riverside hosted the opening fixture of their four-match series.
On that occasion, New Zealand posted 139/9 from their 20 overs, with England responding with 143/3 from just 14 overs to secure a seven-wicket victory with 36 balls remaining.
New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips top-scored for the visitors with 41, while England’s bowling attack restricted the tourists to a total of 139. Durham’s Brydon Carse enjoyed an impressive T20 international debut, taking three wickets for 23 runs, while Luke Wood also claimed three wickets for 37 runs.
England’s run chase was led by Dawid Malan, who scored 54, while Harry Brook finished unbeaten on 43. Their contributions helped the hosts reach their target in the 14th over and establish an early lead in the series.
Carse was named Player of the Match following his three-wicket performance, completing a memorable international debut at his home county ground.
The 2027 fixture will therefore bring England and New Zealand back to the Banks Homes Riverside for another T20 international, almost four years after their previous meeting in County Durham.
