ENG vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, 1st ODI of New Zealand tour of England, 2023: Four match T20I series tied with 2-2

ENG vs NZ: New Zealand will lock horns against England in the 1st ODI of New Zealand tour of England, 2023 on Friday, September 8, 2023, at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.

New Zealand refused to back down, bouncing back from two initial T20 defeats to tie the four-match T20I series 2-2 against England. They must be brimming with confidence going into the ODI series.

England made some interesting moves for their ODI squad. Harry Brook earned his spot thanks to his stellar T20 performance, and to add to the excitement, Ben Stokes decided to come out of retirement for the 2023 ICC World Cup. The batting lineup will heavily rely on the talents of Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, and Dawid Malan.

The bowling unit of England is packed with talent, including Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Moeen Ali, and Chris Woakes and they must be looking to set the tone with a strong performance in the opening match of the ODI series.

On the other hand, New Zealand’s ODI batting lineup is like a powerhouse, featuring Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, Finn Allen, and Glenn Phillips. These guys are absolute match-winners and are on fire right now. They are hungry to kick off the series with a win.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 1st ODI of the New Zealand tour of England, 2023.
