The opening match of the World Cup 2023, which pits England against New Zealand, has officially begun with Conway’s wonderful 100 runs.
This is a rematch of the 2019 World Cup final, in which the Three Lions came out on top by the thinnest of margins.
The match at Lord’s was won by a different player today in the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
World Cup 2023 Eng vs NZ Highlights
Ben Stokes is still recovering from injury, so the England squad decided to rest him for the first game while keeping the remainder of the tournament in mind.
On the other side, New Zealand is also lacking a significant number of its key players.
Key Highlights of NZ vs Eng
Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra have not slowed down as they have pounded the England bowlers after the early wicket fell.
Conway is getting close to his 50th while Ravindra has already reached his half-century as the two players try to conclude the game early.
Devon Conway, who was selected to bat for New Zealand, appeared to get going quickly, hitting two boundaries in the opening over.
However, Sam Curran was the one who caused the ball to chatter just as he entered the second bowl.
He bowled back-to-back first overs, got Conway nearly LBW, then he dismissed Will Young for a duck.
Match is going on another level.
