Result:
NZ won by 9 wickets (82 balls left)
New Zealand has made a strong start to their 2023 World Cup campaign by securing a resounding victory against the defending champions, England.
New Zealand’s bowlers put up an impressive performance, limiting England to a score of under 300 runs. Henry took three wickets, while Santner and Phillips claimed two each. Later, in the chase, Conway (152 not out) and Ravindra (123 not out) played pivotal roles in successfully pursuing a target of 283 runs with relative ease.
England, in contrast, struggled with their batting, with only captain Buttler making a significant contribution. Their bowlers also faced challenges in containing New Zealand’s strong batting lineup during the second innings.
This victory will provide a significant confidence boost to New Zealand, especially after their loss to England in the 2019 World Cup final, which was decided by the number of boundaries.
