ODI World Cup 2023 ENG vs NZ Probable 11
ODI World Cup 2023 ENG vs NZ Probable 11: The first game of the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 will be played between the 2019 World Cup finalists.
England will dare to miss Moeen Ali who matches up well against Tom Latham, having picked him thrice overall, which could be food for thought for New Zealand if a situation arises where the batting order can be shuffled around.
In the absence of Kane Williamson, New Zealand might fill the gap by including Rachin Ravindra at the top or by having James Neesham at the bottom. While Trent Boult offers plenty upfront with the new ball, there is a case for him to be used as a match-up against Ben Stokes, whom he has dismissed thrice so far at an average of 24.
England Probable 11
Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes/Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c, wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
New Zealand Probable 11
Devon Conway, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (c, wk), Glenn Phillips, Jimmy Neesham/Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson
