4th ODI: New Zealand vs England
England head to Dunedin on Wednesday with a chance of winning their five match ODI series against New Zealand, haven taken a narrow 2-1 lead.
On paper it’s a tight contest, with third-placed England a point and a place above New Zealand in the ODI ICC rankings. But on grass the Three Lions really fancy themselves, with the betting odds on another win as low as 1.68 while the hosts are at 2.25.
And if the third match at Westpac was anything to go by, there’ll be plenty of live betting action too as it could very much go down the wire with both teams firing sharply. Black Caps captain Kane Williamson almost pulled off a memorable win last time after scoring an undefeated 112 and needing to hit a six of Chris Woakes final ball, before the tourists eventually triumphed.
But England can be as formidable a team as any in the world, with skill and power right down the order. The return of Ben Stokes was always going to lift Eoin Morgan’s side, and the combative all-rounder shared a partnership of 71 with his skipper, while the hugely talented Jos Buttler weighed in with 29.
With the ball, the spinners took the honours at the Westpac Stadium, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali sharing five wickets, and the hosts’ leggie Ish Sodhi took three England scalps. And, of course, New Zealand have renowned prowess with the new ball, spearheaded by Trent Boult and Tim Southee.
But for now England have the momentum and the armoury to blow any side away. So why not take the day off and enjoy the game!
