Preview

Due to a sore shoulder, Jonny Bairstow missed the previous game, and Jason Roy experienced a back spasm. Additionally, England might try to improve their bowling lineup by adding Mark Wood. New Zealand absolutely outperformed England in the first ODI, winning by an impressive 8 wickets in an unexpected outcome for everyone. England scored a respectable total of 291/6 while batting first. However, their bowlers were poor.

Full Squad:

Jos Buttler (c), Gus Atkinson, Dawid Malan, Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Reece Topley, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Brydon Carse, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran.

Players to watch out for England vs New Zealand:

Joe Root

In the first ODI against New Zealand, England’s ace batsman Joe Root continued his poor ODI performance by being bowled for just six runs off 15 balls. He is anticipated to do admirably in the second game.

Adil Rashid

Adil Rashid played a significant role in the World Cup-winning English cricket team four years after becoming the nation’s top white-ball spinner, which went a long way towards repairing the English side’s strained relationship with leg spin. No legspinner had taken more than five white-ball wickets for England at the time Rashid was recalled to the limited-overs lineup in 2015; during the next six years, Rashid took more than 200. In the last game, he also took a wicket.

Possible Playing XI:

Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, David Willey, Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone, Reece Topley, Harry Brook

England vs New Zealand Toss Prediction:

The Rose Bowl in Southampton features a surface that traditionally helps batters. With a lot of seam and swing, this course will help the pacers in the early stages of the competition. Towards the middle and end of the game, batters will assume command. The captain that wins the toss will probably choose to bowl first.
