England Vs New Zealand (ENG Vs NZ) ODI LIVE Cricket Score and Updates, ICC World Cup 2023 1st Match: England scored 282 for 9 in 50 overs after New Zealand won the toss and opted to field first in Match No 1 of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Thursday, October 5. Stand-in captain Tom Latham was happy with the team effort after his decision to bowl first. Ben Stokes and Kane Williamson are the two big players who are missing in the playing 11 for England and New Zealand due to respective injuries.
England's aggressive batting unit flopped to some extent as barring Joe Root (77) and Jos Buttler (43), no other batter really stepped up. Jonny Bairstow gave a fiery start to the England innings but the Three Liosn failed to accelerate in the middle overs and they were not helped by regular fall of wickets.

"It's a fantastic performance. Fantastic partnership between Rachin and Devon, but it was set up at the start. Fantastic effort with the ball to restrict them to 280 on that surface, it was a total below par. Credit goes to our bowlers for that effort. Been a pretty good build-up since the warm-up games. We have played in these conditions in the last year or so, that is really important. The likes of two seamers (Henry and Boult) did a good job on top," said Tom Latham after the game.

"Great to have a great day. Boys bowled and fielded well to restrict them to 280. Luckily I had Devon out there to show me how to do it. (I am) Very very close with Devon. Special to finish it off with him. 4-5 years ago, we all knew Devon would become the player he is. Above all he's a great guy. It was yesterday (because of) the thing (niggle) with Lockie (when did he know he'll bat at three?). Good to get the opportunity. We'll see what happens. I'm actually quite a good sleeper luckily. There was some swing, but the surface was really good to bat on," said Rachin Ravindra after winning the Player of the match award.
