Tom Latham, the acting captain of New Zealand, won the toss and decided to bowl first. While Joe Root held most of England’s innings together, wickets were lost often. The top partnership for England was his 70 runs off 72 balls with skipper Jos Buttler.
The deep-batting England suffered six wicket losses before the 40th over. They eventually found themselves in serious trouble when Root fell for 77 off 86. England struggled through the final 10 overs but ultimately managed to reach a total of 282/9 in 50 overs. Despite losing an early wicket, Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway helped New Zealand score a number of goals. In just 83 deliveries, Conway eventually reached his century.
As was predicted, Kane Williamson is sitting out for the Kiwis and Ben Stokes is out for England. In 2019, England and New Zealand competed in what is now talked about and considered as the greatest cricket World Cup final of all time. If New Zealand wins the 2023 World Cup opener in a landslide, some of those arguments may be put to rest. Although he came out of ODI retirement for this tournament, Ben Stokes was a key player in that insane game at Lord’s, and England could be forced to play without him today. Stokes made a brilliant 182 against the Kiwis in his final ODI game. This is the last World Cup match and the opening game of the group stage.
