ENG vs NZ Preview

In a surprising result for all, New Zealand completely outplayed England in the first ODI as the Kiwis registered a thumping 8-wicket victory. Batting first, England posted a decent total of 291/6 courtesy of half-centuries from Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone. However, their bowlers were ineffective as Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell smashed brilliant centuries for New Zealand to complete the chase in the 46th over.

England have a mighty batting line-up but they will look to sharpen their bowling weapons with the ODI World Cup 2023 looming large. On the other hand, New Zealand also have a scope for improvement in their bowling. While the hosts will be eager to bounce back with a victory to level the series, New Zealand would not want to take their foot off the gas to win back-to-back matches.

The Rose Bowl Pitch Report

The Rose Bowl always offers a sporting surface and we could witness a good fight between the bat and the ball. However, the pacers get more zip off the surface here than the spinners. The batting might get easier under the lights and hence, the team winning the toss might opt to field first.

Last result at the venue

England (328/10) lost to Ireland (329/3) by 7 wickets.
