New Zealand Beat England in World Cup 2023

England on Thursday rewrote history during the ICC World Cup 2023 opener against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as all of its 11 players managed to reach double-digit figures

Opting to bowl first, New Zealand's stand-in captain Tom Latham could not have foreseen the unique batting record that England would establish. England posted a
total of 282-9 in their innings, but an amazing New Zealand won by nine wickets

The sequence of England's batting order during this memorable innings read as follows

 Jonny Bairstow 33, Dawid Malan 14, Joe Root 77, Harry Brook 25, Moeen Ali 11, Jos Buttler 43, Liam Livingstone 20, Sam Curran 14, Chris Woakes 11, Adil Rashid 15 not out, and Mark Wood 13 not out

New Zealand replied very well, Conway and Ravindra added 273 unbeaten runs in 211 balls for the second wicket partnership to power their side to a comprehensive victory.

Conway smashed 152 runs in 121 balls, meanwhile, Ravindra scored 123 in 96.

Earlier, England’s Joe Root made 77 in an otherwise inconsistent batting display by holders England, who posted 282-9 against New Zealand in the first match of the 50-over World Cup.

A total of 10 teams will fight for the elusive title across 10 venues from October 5 to November 19.
