- England vs New Zealand ODI World Cup 2023 Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Playing 11 & Fantasy Tips
England will take on New Zealand in the opening match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on Thursday (5 October) afternoon.
England are the defending champions of the Cricket World Cup, beating New Zealand in the final four years ago. They come here with a 3-1 series against the same rivals last month and a win against Bangladesh in the warm-up match. Ben Stokes is a doubtful starter for this match.
On the other hand, New Zealand won their warm-up matches against Pakistan and South Africa. They will be without skipper Kane Williamson for this match. Otherwise, the team looks settled for the exciting first game of the tournament.
