New Zealand vs England (New Zealand men’s cricket team vs England men’s cricket team) 2nd ODI LIVE: Hello and a very warm welcome to News18 CricketNext‘s live coverage of the second ODI between New Zealand and England at the Sky Stadium in Wellington.
The first match left bare the dire gap between the ODI skills of these two heavyweights. England look a shadow of a team that won the World Cup in 2019, continuing their steep fall since then, caught between a focus on the Ashes and form issues for most of their batters.
New Zealand have kept the consistency brilliantly, despite dealing with much bigger issues of injury and contract concerns. They’ll aim to use the momentum to seal the series 2-0.
