England was off to an excellent start, but then New Zealand came back to the game strongly with 4 quick wickets. England were 64/1, but now they are struggling at 125/4. And we know how the pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad behaves. Anything less than 300 is not going to be enough for the team that is batting first. Joe Root and Jos Buttler are at the crease right now, and they are trying to rebuild the innings. If they can get Poms to 200 by the 35th over without losing any further wickets, then there is a good chance that England may end up with a good total.
I think England didn't took them seriously and they bat like against a normal team but NewZeland is now well improved team with a chance of stronger contender of semifinalist and as a result England lose much more important wickets and look like they will be stuck below 300 will be not a difficult target to chase if they took a better start, as we have seen during warm-up matches all those teams won who chase so may be NewZeland does same but not predicting any team victory will be meaningless because anything can happens.
Any way buttler and root are on a create with a mindset to took the game deep and build some significant partnership which will really realse Pressure from them and they will easily scored a decent target. Now they scored around 100 partnership and still makeing it bigger let see who took such starting important game
