Cricket Prediction | England vs New Zealand | 4th ODI | September 15, 2023 – Will the series end in a draw or England take away the series?

England vs New Zealand Match Analysis

Thanks to a brilliant performance by Ben Stokes and a steady bowling performance, England defeated New Zealand by 181 runs at the Kennington Oval to take a commanding 2-1 series lead. England’s readiness for the format was questioned following their defeat in the first ODI, but they have now allayed any worries. The Kiwis, however, have occasionally looked strong, but their batting seems to be giving them trouble.

At 12:30 local time on Friday, the fourth and final match of the four-match ODI series will begin at Lord’s.

In the last two games, England has reacted quite well after losing early wickets and has quality throughout the board. They will be quite sure that they can win this game and win the series.

The last two ODIs saw New Zealand struggle with the bat, with Trent Boult being their lone bright spot with the ball. If the Black Caps want to win this match, everyone on the team has to step up their performance.

England vs New Zealand Team Preview & Squads

England

Before the third ODI, there were two further alterations to England’s starting lineup: Chris Woakes replaced David Willey in place of Harry Brook at the top of the order. We anticipate that both of the players who came on had strong performances and will be chosen once more for this game.

Dawid Malan, a left-handed opener, came close to scoring a second international century on Wednesday at The Oval, scoring 96 runs off just 95 balls while launching 13 boundaries.

Ben Stokes, in the most recent game, the England Test captain smashed his nation’s ODI record for the greatest score in this format. He had a big game on Wednesday, hitting 24 home runs.

Reece Topley The 29-year-old appears ready to arrive at the World Cup in excellent shape after collecting 2-31 in the most recent ODI, despite missing out on several tournaments due to injuries.

England Squads

Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Liam Livingstone, Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, Jonny Bairstow, Adil Rashid

New Zealand

Since the World Cup is only three weeks away, we do not anticipate that spin bowling all-arounder Mitchell Santner will be at risk for this match. Santner missed Wednesday’s ODI at The Oval owing to a jarred knee he experienced while fielding in the second game of the series.

Glenn Phillips, the lanky right-hander has been among the most competitive players on this tour and is one of the top fielders in the world.

Daryl Mitchell, who led the series in scoring after the first two one-day internationals, could only manage 17 runs at The Oval. He has, however, been in excellent form, and we anticipate that he will finish the series with a significant score.

Trent Boult, It is particularly impressive that the opening bowler enters this last ODI as the game’s leading wicket-taker after being omitted from the series’ opening contest.

New Zealand Squads

Tom Latham (c), Devon Conway (wk), Will Young, Glenn Phillips, Lockie Ferguson, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Southee, Daryl Mitchell, Trent Boult, Finn Allen, Ben Lister

England vs New Zealand outfield report

Lord’s, London

Since teams who bat first have had significantly better previous results at Lord’s, we anticipate that both captains will favor doing so before this game.

At Lord’s, the afternoon and early evening are predicted to be warm with a high of 24 degrees. There is no chance that the rain will stop the game.

The incline at Lord’s usually piques the interest of the pace bowlers, but the bounce will be quite reliable. On this pitch, a par score will be close to 320.
