It is very likely that today's match will be very tough for England as England have lost four batsmen in their top order but none of the three batsmen could score a half century/century. England will need a long partnership to make a good target but it is easy to guess that England's batsmen are under pressure from New Zealand's bowling department. England fell by 4 wickets for 119 runs which is an indication of how well England's next batsmen will do.
England posted 282-9 in 50 overs against New Zealand. Joe Root out in 77 by 86 balls and Jos Buttler is out 43 runs in 42 balls and with the support from the tail-enders, England reached a decent total. New Zealand need 283 to win the opening match. NewZealand have successfully limited the reigning champions to a modest 300. M. Henry took 3 wickets 3-48-10 and M. Santner also picked 2 wickets his bowling figure is 2-37-10. I think NewZealand have strong chance to win this match.
