On the other hand, England faced a lashing 9-wicket loss to New Zealand in the tournament opener. They were slow with the bat and could only manage to post 282 runs in their 50 overs. Only former skipper Joe Root was a batsman to score a half-century for England.
New Zealand not only racked England’s batting but also exposed their bowling. Sam Curren took the first ball wicket (Will Young) in the second over and then Conway and Rachin made sure not to let any further damage and took New Zealand home with a comfortable 9-wicket win. Conway and Rachin registered their centuries in the game as well.
