On Sunday in Southampton, England and New Zealand play the second of their four-match ODI series. The first game of the series was played on Friday in Cardiff. With 26 balls remaining, New Zealand won the ODI by 8 wickets thanks to a stellar batting performance. At 11:00 local time, The Rose Bowl will host the second ODI.
The current World Cup champions, England, will be anxious to get back on track before the 2023 World Cup, which begins next month. They have already dropped their past two ODIs.
The last three games of this tour have been victories for New Zealand. They are a very good team because they have hitters who can play aggressively without losing their wickets.
Jos Buttler will want to tread a delicate line between giving young players vital experience and still winning this series. With Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy out due to minor ailments, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali, and Mark Wood were all given the day off on Friday.
Jos Buttler, the captain, scored five fours and two sixes on Friday against Cardiff, and he will benefit from Southampton’s slightly faster wicket for this match.
Liam Livingstone, a batting all-rounder for Lancashire, substantially helped England in the first game of the series. At the end of the innings, he scored 52 runs on 40 balls, and he will be more confident going into the match.
The seasoned spinner Adil Rashid couldn’t bowl again until late in Cardiff because he had to leave the field for a few overs. When he can bowl his leg spin, England is a much superior team.

We anticipate that Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner, who were both left out of the team for Friday’s ODI, will be reinserted for this match. With the goal of winning their fourth straight game on the tour, the group is feeling confident.
Although his T20I series was poor, Devon Conway, a steady left-hander, was at his best when he scored another international century in the last game.
On Friday in England, batting all-arounder Daryl Mitchell played one of the best ODI innings in recent memory. After his seven sixes on Friday, England’s bowlers will be alarmed to see him at the crease once more.
The T20I captain Tim Southee is a constant threat at any point in an inning. Under overcast conditions in Southampton, he ought to get in some swing.
