ENG vs NZ ODI Head To Head and Record in Narendra Modi Stadium: 2019 finalists England and New Zealand lock horns in match 1 of ICC World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad on Thursday (October 5).
Jos Buttler’s England, who could only play one of their practice matches, are fresh from a World Cup warm up victory over Bangladesh, while Tom Latham’s New Zealand head into the match on the back of successive wins over Pakistan and South Africa.

While New Zealand remain unbeaten in four matches thanks to their 2-0 away series win in Bangladesh, England are also on a four-match winning run following their warm up match win and the 3-1 home series win over the Blackcaps last month.
The two sides met in a four-match series in September, when England came back from an opening match loss to clinch the series 3-1. However, the conditions may vary in their next meeting, which happens to be their second meeting in ODIs and also the second in a World Cup match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
