England were resoundingly beaten by New Zealand in the opening match of the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup, the Black Caps besting the defending champions by nine wickets to gain revenge for their 2019 final defeat. After England posted a pretty pedestrian 282-9 from their 50 overs, having been put into bat, New Zealand romped to victory in 36.2 overs, with Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra both notching scintillating centuries on their World Cup debuts.
Root and Buttler appeared to have steadied things with their impressive stand, the former bringing up a 37th ODI fifty off 57 balls in the process, until Henry returned to account for the skipper, caught behind. Then, approaching the 40-over mark and with another partnership building between Root and Liam Livingstone , Boult deceived the latter with a brilliantly-disguised knuckleball.
