Chasing 283 runs scored by England in the first match of the Cricket World Cup, New Zealand started slowly, but after the powerplay ended, the beating began. New Zealand are 1 run after 10 overs of the match. Will Young, who came out as the opener, got out on the very first ball he faced. The ball thrown by Sam Curran was caught by Jos Buttler. Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra are at the crease. Keeping the run-rate at six, New Zealand is swinging the bat cautiously without hitting huge hits.
Meanwhile, England, who batted first, scored 282 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. Joe Root scored 77 runs off 86 balls, captain Jos Buttler scored 43 runs off 42 balls and Bairstow scored 33 runs off 35 balls for England.
