Martin Guptill to score over 31.5 runs

Ahead of the first T20I we predicted that Martin Guptill would score high and he did not disappoint us by scoring 45 runs off 36 balls on Thursday. We expect another match-winning knock from T20I cricket's second-highest run-scorer who has played 117 T20I matches and scored 3444 runs at an average of 32.4♉9 and strike rate of 136.23.

The Auckland-born has played o꧋nly one T20I match against Scotland in 2014. New Zealand won that match but Guptill missed on a scoring opportunity and could score only 9 runs. However, he has already made amends in his second outing against the opposition. Earlier, the senior batter was stunning in the third ODI against Ireland on July 15. His 126-ball 115 fired New Zealand to 360 for the loss of six wickets in 50 overs. He also hit a fifty in the first ODI and a hundred in the final ODI against Netherlands in April. The Netherlands team registered several comprehensive wi꧙ns in July but they came against the likes of USA, Uganda, Hong Kong and PNG. Bowling against a white-ball stalwart like Guptill will be a huge challenge for the European nation again on Friday. The star batter is very likely to score over 31.5 runs in the series decider.
