New Zealand won by 9 wickets (82 balls left)

New Zealand Won ODI World Cup 1st Match against England

New Zealand cricket team 1st ODI World Cup 2023 match against England by 9 wickets, Ravindra and Conway both player makes century and makes 273 runs partnership.

Chasing is an art and the pair of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway have just handed a masterclass in the same. When England were restricted to 282 runs, it felt like it might be a tricky chase and when Will Young got out for a golden duck, New Zealand must have had a few nerves.

New Zealand vs England Match Summary:

England: · 282/9 (50)
Joe Root 77 (86) | Matt Henry 3/48 (10)
Jos Buttler 43 (42) | Glenn Phillips 2/17 (3)

New Zealand: · 283/1 (36.2)
Devon Conway 152* (121) | Sam Curran 1/47 (6)
Rachin Ravindra 123* (96) | Liam Livingstone 0/24 (3)

But that is where a young guy like Ravindra can help you, absolutely no fear and he took on the English pacers from the word go. Conway too was on the move early on and given just a few months back he raked up runs for fun in the Indian T20 League, that would have given him the added confidence.

The pair put on a mammoth unbeaten 273-run stand shattering the previous highest partnership for New Zealand in a World Cup by more than 100 runs. Conway finished with 152 as Ravindra too stayed unbeaten on 123 and even hit the winning runs.

New Zealand’s skipper Tom Latham says that it was a fantastic performance. Adds that it was an unbelievable partnership between Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra and it was all setup by the bowlers. Credits the bowlers for restricting England to a below-par total.

Mentions that they have had a pretty good build-up leading up to the event and they have experienced guys in the side as well.

Feels that it is about adapting to the conditions as quickly as they can. Shares that Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra played proper cricketing shots which was pleasing to see. On Rachin Ravindra, he says that it was pretty special to watch and they are looking forward to getting around him later on.

England’s captain, Jos Buttler says that it was a disappointing day and they were outplayed by New Zealand but it is just one loss of what is a long tournament. Mentions that a lot of guys in their squad have been on both sides of results like this and hopefully can bounce back right away.

Adds that they were well below par and they should have got at least 330 given how the wicket played and New Zealand simply got off to a flying start. Says that they did give away a few wickets playing poor shots and weren’t clinical enough with their shot-making. Also says that Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra did play some really good shots and the conditions did change as the ball skidded on better and they played a long way short of their best batting.

On Joe Root, he says that he looked back to his old self, and no matter what format he plays, he is the best batter on their side but even for him, it is nice to get a few runs under their belt. Ends by saying that hopefully, Ben Stokes is back for the next game but it all depends on what the physios and trainers say.

Moeen Ali Retirement News

Moeen Ali retired After seeing India-England Test venue

Moeen Ali english cricketer confirms his retirement and England Test career is over, won’t tour India next year.

This time, Moin Ali is not keeping anyone’s request. Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum came out of retirement and returned to Tests . His performance in the Ashes clearly shows why he was brought back. It was Moeen who took 3 wickets in the second innings of the Oval Test as well.

The Ashes is over then? England’s next test in Tests is against India in early 2024, also on Indian soil. McCullum felt the need for Moeen again in such a series. However, Moeen Ali is not able to keep the request anymore, he has clearly stated, ‘I am finished here.’

Moeen Ali scored 180 runs and took 9 wickets in 4 Ashes Tests. Although the runs and wickets were not very high, he was effective. He took wickets at important times. He also had to fight with injuries .

The reason why Moeen will not play in the India series despite the team’s request is also interesting. One of the reasons why the English did not want to tour India was the lack of playing in a big venue. Moeen, however, explained the reason with a smile, ‘They (McCullum and Stokes) knew my decision from the start. Especially when the venues for the India tour were announced. Buzz (McCallum) told me again, I said, no, I’m not going to India. There is no chance of going to India. my end It’s great to finish like this and be a part of such a great day.’

Moeen believes that Test cricket is the best version, even though he quit Test cricket earlier, ‘Test cricket is the best. If I could go back! Although my career has had ups and downs, I wouldn’t have changed. I just love it. And it was difficult to come back like that, because I had never done well against Australia before.’

The English all-rounder still can’t believe he came back and played so well after two years, ‘I still can’t believe I did so well. It was great to finish like that. It was tough, but I had nothing to lose, it was like a free-hit. I thought I was bowling well, just worried about the finger. I was not worried at all about bowling.’

Moeen quit Test cricket for the first time in 2021. After that due to the injury of Jack Leach, Moeen returned to the Test due to the need of the team and departed from the Test arena with Broad in the Oval Test.

Bulawayo lost Ben McDermott in the third over chasing the target. Then began Raja’s devastating batting. Kobe added 88 runs off just 29 balls with Hart. Raja got out to be 2 runs away from victory but Beau Webster who got four got the job done easily.
