ENG vs NZ Match Preview

On Sunday, England and New Zealand will play the second of four one-day internationals (ODIs) in Southampton. The series began on Friday afternoon in Cardiff, with New Zealand winning the first ODI by eight wickets with 26 balls remaining. England has now lost their last two One-Day Internationals, and the current World Cup holders will be desperate to get back into shape ahead of the 2023 World Cup, which begins next month. New Zealand has now won their last three matches on this tour. They have batters who can play aggressively while not losing wickets, and as a result, they are a very strong side.

Topmost Picks for ENG vs NZ Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – England

• Jos Buttler- the skipper hit five fours and two sixes in Cardiff on Friday and he will enjoy a bit more pace in the wicket in Southampton for this game.
• Adil Rashid- the experienced spinner was off the field for a number of overs which meant he was unable to bowl again until late on in Cardiff. England are a much better team when he is able to bowl his leg-spin.

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Devon Conway- the consistent left-hander had a disappointing T20I series but was at his reliable best as he produced another international century in the last match.
• Tim Southee- the T20I skipper is always a threat at any stage of an innings. He should get some swing under cloudy skies in Southampton.

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for ENG vs NZ Dream11 Team:

Jos Buttler, Devon Conway, Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell(C), Glenn Phillips, Liam Livingstone(VC), Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Reece Topley

ENG vs NZ Probable Winners:

With the start of their World Cup defense less than a month away, England will want to avoid bowling performances like the one seen on Friday for the rest of the tournament. On Friday, New Zealand demonstrated their ability as a team by taking the proper approach to their pursuit. We expect a close game on Sunday and are betting on some of England’s batters to hit big scores and for England to win. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.
