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.

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.

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.

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.
