New Zealand with a great batting performance in today's first match of ICC World Cup England vs New Zealand. These two teams played the final in the last ICC World Cup where England was in the best form. However, in today's first match, England batted first and collected 282 runs and lost 9 wickets, giving New Zealand a target of 283 runs. However, everyone was impressed by New Zealand's batting performance in today's match, they achieved a huge win by nine wickets in the first match. New Zealand batsmen especially Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway batted brilliantly both to give New Zealand victory in today's match. Devon Conway scored 152 runs off 121 balls and his batting performance was outstanding, scoring a brilliant century. And Rachin Ravindra scored a century with 123 runs off 96 balls, the batting performance of the duo delighted the crowd. However, England's batting and bowling performance in today's match was not good at all, due to their poor performance, the match was lost against New Zealand by a huge margin.

[TakeItEasy]

During England batting few players done mistakes which hurt them badly, and they were not able to perform as they started but here we also need to praise New Zealand bowling which give their best in these hot and difficult conditions specially Matt Henry done good job with 3 wickets which was vital for them, and now they have been having impressive batting from the Conway and Ravindra both which are already passed centuries aggressively.

A brilliant match we have seen today,  in which new zealand was unbeatable,  the way they batted was really on top. Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra completed their 100's with some brilliant shots. Too strong batting from New Zealand Cricket Team,  they have this kind of partnerships and this kind of Batsmen ,  no one can beat them for sure. Rachin Ravindra was the man of the match for his brilliant knock of 123 runs out of 96 balls which includes 5 sixes and 11 fours and he has also taken 1 wicket in his 10 overs spell.
Tomorrow will be a match between Pakistan And Netherland, waiting for it to see a good match tomorrow.

Records

Rachin Ravindra scored his first century in his first world cup match.
Fastest century by a New Zealand player in World Cup match - 82 balls.
263* runs partnership between Conway and Rachin for the second wicket.

Looking at the summary of the match, it doesn't look like New Zealand have beaten the defending champions so easily. Looking at England's performance, it is hard to say that the defending champions lost their opening match so badly. To achieve the target of 283 runs so easily and to win the match by 9 wickets with 14 overs remaining, New Zealand has to be applauded.

New Zealand performed well in all areas but England poor performance also played a role in New Zealand easy win. That is why there was such a big partnership for the second wicket, but none of the England bowlers failed to take a wicket. With this performance, England will have to struggle to reach the next stage.

[wiss19]

I do not see any possibility of defeat of New Zealand. They are going to win the match easily. They collected 187 runs after losing only 1 wicket in 25 overs. Will young was the first to return to the dressing room. But COnway and Rachin Ravindra are playing brilliantly. Conway remained unbeaten on 98 and Ravindra on 87. New Zealand need only 96 runs in 25 overs.
The first match of the World Cup I thought would be very competitive. Also I thought England team as favorite. Because England played very well in the last series against New Zealand and won the series. It was totally unexpected that England would perform so poorly today.

215 runs record-breaking partnership for New Zealand for the second wicket bring historic win for them as well against England in first match of the ODI World cup which is surely one of the best win for them and perfect start for this event as well Conway and Rachin Ravindra both complete their centuries with this was first century for the Rachin Ravindra as he was playing as bowler for them but having impressive batting skills.

England bowling was awful which were not able to keep things while they were defending 283 runs against New Zealand even on this flat track this target was not good enough for them but New Zealand having impressive start of their campaign and win their first game by 9 wickets with 13.4 overs were left into their inning mostly fans were expecting good cricket from both sides, but this was completely one-sided game with this big win New Zealand having good NRR as well which is going to help them later in case of level of points against any other team.

[WatChe]

Nobody was expecting such hammering of English bowlers today. Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra had a record 2nd innings partnership of unbeaten 273. Before World Cup odds were not very much in favour of New Zealand but after today's stunning performance its clear that New Zealand are well prepared for this world cup. Ravindra with this century has established himself now as recognised batsmen also.

New Zealand was the underdog in the match. The team's recent performances were really good and in today's match once again they nailed it. As said we can see better odds on New Zealand in the upcoming matches. As New Zealand haven't won World Cup it is always considered the underdog and with this kind of performance they're good to win against any team. Atleast one of the bowler will be successful, in today's match England bowlers failed completely, today I was lucky to win the bet. However the bet value is not even a dollar.

Yes exactly they played really well in the series but here in ICC World Cup's first match England is looking weak and New Zealand is now much stronger as compare to the England team. According to the current situation New Zealand made 209 runs in 28 overs and they need 74 runs in 21 overs. Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway partnership is going well. Devon Conway already made his century and Rachin Ravindra is very close to it. And I am sure thay he will also complete the 100 runs soon.

First match of World Cup tournament has been ended and this match was very interesting and exciting. If we see that New Zealand played very outstanding and they perform same as in previous matches of warm up. But I also expected that England also play good but they disappointed their fans and everyone believe that England will win this match easily and they have strongest team ever. New Zealand defend the target of England 282 runs which is not much high but normal target. In warm up matches, New Zealand defend high target gearter than 300 and also give more than 350 runs target to their opponent team. Great job New Zealand team and especially Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra batting performance and their remarkable partnership both players completed their century and also credit of this winning match goes to Rachin Ravindra because they made 123 runs and also took 1 wicket.

Just imagine what would have happened, if all these South African born players (Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips, Marnus Labuschagne, Tom Curran, Jason Roy, Colin Munro, Michael Neser.etc) played for the country of their birth instead. Anyway, the loss of one team is the gain for other. Even in today's match, two of these players had a very big contribution to New Zealand's win (Conway and Phillips). BTW, England also had one player of South African origin. Although Dawid Malan was born in England, his parents are South African. And he did most of his education in South Africa.

[JunkieMiner]

Waiting for tomorrow's match which has to be played between Pakistan And Netherlands. The Netherlands' chances are not that much if we look at their statistics from the previous few years against Pakistan. The Netherlands has never won a single match against Pakistan, which shows that Pakistan's stats over the Netherlands are quite high and improved. As the bowling side is amazing of Pakistan and their batting side is quite better, the Netherlands didn't have that much of the strong bowling.
I think looking at their stat, Pakistan should have to make 350+ runs to get a good win with a better run rate.

This was really incredible to see. The New Zealand batting lineup absolutely crushed the English bowlers. This was a very easy win for New Zealand. After England gave a target of 283 I thought it was actually going to be competitive. But of course that did not happen. New Zealand was just destroying their opponent. I actually think that it was because English bowlers were not very comfortable performing on a pitch like this. They are not used to the conditions as well. I think England is going to learn from this mistake and try to improve. Congratulations to the New Zealand team for having a great performance at the start of the competition.

Well, we all know by how much big margin the New Zealand team won today. They really took revenge of the last World Cup finals where the England team defeated them and won the title.

The partnership between Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway was amazing. Although Devon Conway made 152 runs but man of the match was Rachin Ravindra who made 123 runs in the partnership. I think he was awarded the player of the match because he also took 1 wicket in the match.

[Cheema02]

This match is slowly getting engrossing after Sam Curran took the first wicket. Rachid is on the pitch, this guy has the ability to hit the oddball and can rotate runs. Conway is in no hurry as he is still going with the ones and twos. The target is not that big for these guys to chase as a target of more than 300 runs would not be easy. New Zealand has been a different team today after their poor performance against England in the bilateral series. A good partnership is what they need to chase and win the match.

New Zealand batting performance is very impressive the current score of New Zealand is 221 runs in loss if 1 wicket in 31 overs.

New Zealand will surely win this match and that too by showing some great batting performance. Chasing a score of 281 runs and doing it successfully by losing only one wicket means some serious business. New Zealand have told other teams that they are here for the title.


By the way, anyone noticed, that Google is also celebrating the ICC Cricket World Cup 

Yes, Google is Celebrating the World cup 2023 occasion with a doodle. In first match of World cup, between England and New Zealand are very interesting and surprising for me to see the performance of New Zealand team they beat England by 9 wickets and 82 balls left in the match. What a win by New Zealand Outstanding performance especially Devon Conway scored an amazing hundred 152 run Not out and the Young players Rachin Ravindra all round performance picking 1 wickets by giving 76 runs in 10 Over and Very Impressive performance with the bat by scoring 123 runs not. News Zealand Chase down the taregt of 283 runs in lost of 1 wicket only. Its a huge victory for New Zealand.

Pakistan will definitely win against Netherlands, but the question is by what margin. Am expecting them to win by 50+ runs at the very least, but this is Pakistan that we are talking about who are unpredictable as hell.

If Azam and Rizwan get going, they will probably defeat them by 100+ runs quite easily. Let's see what happens.

No one imagined such a miserable defeat for England. Many gamblers lost bets today. Most of the people considered England as the favorite in this match. But the reality was different. England's performance was that of an average team. I would say they played very poorly. No one expected such a performance from an experienced team like England. I was very surprised not to see Stokes in the England squad today. I feel Stokes should have been given a place in the squad instead of Sam Curran.

England's next match is against Bangladesh. I cannot say that England will win this match. Bangladesh always perform well against England in the World Cup. Moreover, it is not possible to give any prediction about the performance of Bangladesh. Only God knows when this team will play well or when it will play badly.

[GbitG]

Today 1st Match of England vs New Zealand team has already started.England team came to bat first and gave a target of 282 runs in 50 overs.England team came to bat first and couldn't give a target of many runs.But now England team has good performance in bowling line.  If you can do it, there will be a possibility of England team winning this match. New Zealand team will come to bat in a short time. It is not yet understood which team will win the first match today.

Really really embarrassing performance from entire strong England team, I taught they Gona easily smashed them but none of thier batter rather than root perform which is quite disappointed and shocking for England fan because they are already defending champions of ODI world and T20 World cup too so fans expectations were really Hight from them and they are quite sure that they will lift trophy this time too but in my mind defeat in first match of the world Cup will really damage thier momentum and moral which will put them under a huge pressure during second match of them at world Cup.

I think looking at their stat, Pakistan should have to make 350+ runs to get a good win with a better run rate.

I think we shouldn't underestimate any team qualify for world cup because they already done a hardwork and show some good performance that why they got qualify as there are several quality team who couldn't qualify but they does so it will be an interesting match to watch and I believe target chasing team will have dominance over thier opponents so if neither got opportunity to chase required time them definitely they will give tough time to Pakistan because here most of the pitches are batting friendly and any balance batter can scored decent score while it's a graveyard for bowler because any big deadly bowler will leak as much as possible runs like Haris from paksitan side and today wood does. So looking forward for the postive results for paksitan

First Pakistan needs to win of course and my gut feeling says that we are going to lose one match against the low rank team, Would it be the Netherlands or any other small team, I just do not know yet 

So if the upset does not happen then for sure Pakistan should win this match by a big margin like 100 - 150 runs margin or so. Since every team in this competition has to play with every other team, every point plus the run rate counts a lot. They should try to win with the highest margin possible so as to maintain a healthy rate too.

This time no team can be underestimated. Whether it is Netherlands, Afghanistan, Bangladesh every team is doing great. Just the small errors from the players move the match in favour of the opponent. I also have the same feeling, some disappointment gonna happen out of the performance from the small teams.

Only team I've seen not to the level at present is Sri Lanka. Lets see what they can do. Tomorrow's match between Netherlands and Pakistan will be watched by every team. Based on that will be the valuation of Netherlands. Pakistan with its bowling and great batting line-up could easily win the match, however it should be playing seriously from the beginning. The odds on the match have got massive difference which means Pakistan @1.05 and Netherlands @8.50

Yesterday, Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra of New Zealand batted as if they were playing T20. If England had given a target of more than 350 runs tomorrow, then New Zealand would have won the game. In yesterday's match, I could not understand how a favorite team like England fell into a batting disaster under the pressure of New Zealand's bowlers yesterday. Where the New Zealand batsmen played the ball of England bowlers in T20 style while the pressure of the New Zealand bowlers did not give any comfort to the England batsmen. So what is the ultimate revenge for losing the final of New Zealand in tomorrow's match?

New Zealand had decided to show off their revenge to the England in the first match itself.It was the biggest reason for the England to bowl first.Since the ground favour for the batting,the Root and Butler made his good strike today.The New Zealand made the complete target in 36.2 overs and made the England to feel guilty on the first game itself.We all know the game of Conway was unique in the New Zealand team,but no one thought the Rachin will made his hundred in the game against the England and occupy the heart of cricket fans all around the world.
