Highlights of the England vs. New Zealand match, Cricket World Cup 2023:
Tom Latham, the acting captain of New Zealand, won the toss and decided to bowl first. While Joe Root was the center of England's innings, wickets were lost frequently. The top partnership for England was his 70 runs off 72 balls with captain 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 eventually 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 the end, Conway completed his century in just 83 deliveries, and Ravindra also reached the century mark. As was predicted, England was without Ben Stokes for the opening ODI of the World Cup, and Kane Williamson was also absent.

The best bowler was Matt Henry of New Zealand, who took three wickets and gave up 48 runs in 10 overs. Nevertheless, Ravindra received the Player of the Match award for his outstanding century against the defending champions.
