Preview

Going into the World Cup, England, one of the finest teams in the ODI format, appears to be very strong. Although they will be overjoyed with their comeback in the most recent game, they will still want much more from the top order.

England was put into bat after losing the toss. They had a terrible start, losing their whole top order in the first eight overs. However, because they batted relatively deeply and the game was only extended by 34 overs owing to rain, they produced a fantastic comeback. After 34 overs, they had a final score of 226-7, with Liam Livingstone scoring a superb 95 off just 78 balls.

The bowling department had a huge workload, but they were up to the challenge. The bowling staff totally dismantled the Kiwi batting order, dismissing them for 147. Reece Topley was outstanding, going 3 for 27 runs.

Full Squad:

Jos Buttler (c), Gus Atkinson, Dawid Malan, Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Reece Topley, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Brydon Carse, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran.

Preview

New Zealand would have been thrilled with the way they have played thus far after an outstanding comeback in the T20 matches and a victory to open this ODI series. However, after suffering a setback in their most recent contest, they will want to turn things around and take the series lead.

New Zealand made a great start after choosing to field first after winning the toss and taking 4 wickets in just 8 overs. They had England on the ropes, but once again, England’s depth in the batting proved devastating as they reached 226 in what turned out to be a 34-over encounter owing to rain.

Considering the excellent English bowling lineup, chasing the goal of 227 in 34 overs was a difficult challenge. However, after a great strong start, the Kiwi Batsmen collapsed like a house of cards. Being dismissed for 147 runs in just 27 overs was quite disheartening. Daryl Mitchell scored the most runs, 57, off of 52 balls.

Full Squad:

Tom Latham (c, wk), Finn Allen (wk), Trent Boult, Devon Conway (wk), Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Adam Milne, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips (wk), Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Will Young

Players to watch out for England vs New Zealand:

Devon Conway

In the first match, Devon scored 111 runs in 121 balls and successfully helped his country win the first ODI against England. But he failed to continue his momentum in the 2nd match, he was only able to score 14 runs.

Trent Boult

Trent Boult, who was playing in his 100th ODI, gave New Zealand a sensational start by dismissing Jonny Bairstow (6), Joe Root (0), and Ben Stokes (1) to put England in trouble early. He was the bowler to watch out for in the match.

Possible Playing XI:

Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham(w/c), Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Trent Boult
