NZ tour of ENG 2023
ENG vs. NZ, 3rd ODI
Preview
England and New Zealand will cross swords in the 3rd ODI of their four-game ODI series which is scheduled at the Kennington Oval in London on Wednesday, September 13.
England will be led by Jos Buttler who made a dramatic comeback at the Rose Bowl in Southampton to level the series 1-1 after the completion of the second game. In that match, the Four-Headed Lions defeated the Kiwis in a 34-over game during a rain-curtailed match.
In the first innings, England decked up a huge score of 226-7 in 34 overs. Liam Livingstone was the star of the show with 95 runs off 78 balls hitting 9 fours and 1 sixes in the process. Sam Curran also made a vital 42-run stand to contribute to the total. England once at 55-5 in 12.1 overs recovered and scored a massive 226 as an outcome. Trent Boult playing his 100th ODI picked up three scalps to somehow restrict the English batters.
On the other hand, it was an easy task for the England bowlers as they restricted the BlackCaps to just 147 runs in 26.5 overs. The only positives they will take from this game is Daryl Mitchell’s 57 runs off 52 balls with 6 fours and 1 six. David Willey and Reece Topley picked up 3 wickets apiece from the other side.
