ODI World Cup 2023: Cricket’s biggest tournament, the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, is going to start after just two days of waiting. All the teams have reached India before this big tournament. On October 5, defending champions England and 2019 runners-up New Zealand will face each other. This match will start at 2:00 PM IST. Down below, in this article, you read: England vs New Zealand Expected Playing 11, Head-To-Head Record for the Opening Match of the ICC World Cup 2023
With 3,057 points and a rating of 105, the England team is currently ranked fifth in the ICC ODI rankings, while the Blackcaps are ranked sixth with 3,397 points and a rating of 103. Given that both teams excel in major tournaments, it would not be fair to compare them based solely on their rankings.
On one hand, a strong batsman like Jos Buttler will take command of the England team in the World Cup, while on the other hand, the responsibility of the New Zealand team will be on the shoulders of Kane Williamson, famous for his calm behavior. Williamson is returning to the field after a long gap. He was injured while fielding in the IPL 2023, due to which he missed the tournament.
