Preview :

England and New Zealand played the final of the 2019 ICC ODI World Cup and the former turned out to be the winner by the barest of lucky margins. New Zealand will look to seek the vengeance of the bitter loss. On the other hand, Jos Buttler will look to carry on the legacy of Eoin Morgan. He has already won the T20 World Cup 2023 as captain and will certainly like to win the ODI trophy as well. Ben Stokes have taken a u-turn on retirement from ODIs to play the World Cup. On the other hand, Kane Williamson is ruled out of the clash due to injury. Trent Boult is making a return despite not playing any International cricket for the Kiwis in the recent times. Jofra Archer is out of the tournament due to an injury. There are a lot of ifs and buts at the moment. However, England still look a much better side with many all-rounders in their ranks.

England are one of the tournament’s favourites, with plenty of quality players in their ranks. From top to bottom, they have an explosive batting lineup that can hit the big shots straightaway. Their bowling will also be bolstered by including Mark Wood and young sensation Gus Atkinson. Also, the likes of Chris Woakes and Sam Curran also have vast experience playing on Indian soil.

Meanwhile, New Zealand will also hope to continue their good work in ICC tournaments. While Kane Williamson will miss the opening game, the Kiwis still have a solid batting unit, with most being quality players of spin. The return of Trent Boult boosts the bowling lineup significantly, but the Black Caps would be concerned with the fitness of Tim Southee, who dislocated his thumb last month.
