This series is headed in the same direction as the New Zealand tour of England, which produced some of the most memorable games in the annals of the sport. Since the World Cup 2019 final, this match has been one to keep an eye on.
On Wednesday at The Oval, the third ODI of the series, England and New Zealand square off once more. South London hosts the first ODI at 12:30 local time.
After overcoming a 2-0 deficit in the T20 matches, New Zealand entered the ODI series on a high note. However, with the series knotted at 1-1, they will want to win this series in order to improve their World Cup preparation.
After losing the first ODI, the current World Champions England went on to win the subsequent match. They have a strong team and will want to be ready for the World Cup in every way.
As anticipated, England has made a lot of adjustments in the series’ first two games, and we predict that the trend will continue in this ODI as well. Dawid Malan, who batted first and scored a half-century in the first game, is set to resume at the top of the order.
Jos Buttler, despite not having the best ODI record at the Oval, the right-hander will nonetheless enter this match with confidence given his good performance over the previous 24 months.
Liam Livingstone, the powerful middle-order all-around batsman has uncharacteristically settled into the game. Livingstone has scored 147 runs over the first two games, which is one more than only Daryl Mitchell.
Reece Topley, a tall left-arm fast bowler who took wickets on Sunday during the middle overs by getting rid of Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips, and Rachin Ravindra in an eight-ball span, was successful.

Now that the World Cup has been underway for less than a month, we anticipate New Zealand to begin selecting a reliable team for this format. Prior to the second ODI of the series, the team welcomed back Mitchell Santner, Trent Boult, and Finn Allen.
Daryl Mitchell, a batting all-rounder, has scored three hundred and one half-centuries in his past six games in this format and has struck the most sixes for New Zealand in both of the series’ opening games.
Tim Southee, the seasoned swing bowler added two more wickets to his tally on Sunday. He is delivering wickets in this format more quickly than at any other point in his career.
Trent Boult, In the most recent game, the left-arm opening bowler was outstanding with the new ball, taking crucial wickets of Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, and Ben Stokes.
