ENG vs NZ Dream11 Prediction World Cup 2023 Match 1 | England vs New Zealand Dream11 Team, Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report: All the wait and excitement for the ICC World Cup 2023 has reached its climax as we are left with just one more night before we see the tournament opener clash between England and New Zealand. The two sides will face each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium on October 5 to begin the ICC World Cup 2023 proceedings. The game starts at 2:00 PM (IST).

It's been four years since that infamous episode at the Lord's Cricket Ground, which saw the rise of England as the World Cup champions. New Zealand were at the other end of the things as they again fell a wee bit short to lift the coveted glory.

Over the years we have heard many experts talk about the future of 50-overs cricket and its sustainability. Many have even said that the ODIs might phase out after the World Cup in 2023. However, the question to all these questions lies in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023. Will the India edition of the ICC World Cup reignite fans' passion for 50-over cricket and live up to the expectations or will it be done and dusted for one of the most loved cricket formats in the past?

There will be several exciting elements in the game which unfolds tomorrow at the Narendra Modi Stadium. There will be the test of Kiwi pacer Trent Boult's shine as he faces the touted England openers. Mark Wood's fiery spell in the ODIs will also be under the examination. And on top of everything, the cricket pundits would be keen on seeing Ben Stokes' comeback in the ODIs just as a pure batter.

ICC World Cup 2023: ENG vs NZ Dream11 Prediction

Jos Buttler-led England has enjoyed the upper hand over New Zealand over the years. The latest ICC ODI Team Ranking reflects the same, where England are placed slightly ahead of New Zealand. Also, the Kiwis will be without their mainstay batter Kane Williamson for the game, which might add more in favour of the Englishmen.

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad offers both red and black soil pitches. Often the red soil offers good movement to the seamers as compared to that of the black soil. However, it will be the question as to which surface is used for the tournament opener between England and New Zealand. The temperature is expected to be on the dry side, which will absorb moisture from the surface. The seamers tend to get decent help under the lights in Ahmedabad, while the spinners will get decent aid off the surface.
