New Zealand will head into the second ODI with momentum on their side after taking a 1-0 lead in the series, courtesy of a composed four-wicket win over England in the opening clash at Mount Maunganui. The hosts showcased strong all-round performance, with Zakary Foulkes (4/41) and Matt Henry (2/53) dismantling England’s batting early. Despite England’s stutter, captain Harry Brook’s brilliant 135 off 101 balls, supported by Jamie Overton’s 46, ensured the visitors had a fighting total of 223. As the action now shifts to Seddon Park in Hamilton, New Zealand will aim to seal the series, while England will look to bounce back and keep their hopes alive.
In the run chase, New Zealand had a shaky start as Brydon Carse (3/45) struck early, dismissing Will Young and Kane Williamson in quick succession. However, the hosts regained control through a composed 92-run stand between Daryl Mitchell (78*) and Michael Bracewell (51), which steadied the innings and tilted the momentum back in their favor. Mitchell then joined forces with skipper Mitchell Santner (27) to comfortably guide New Zealand to victory with 80 balls remaining. With a 1-0 lead in hand, the Kiwis will now aim to build on their strong performance and clinch the series in Hamilton, while England face a must-win situation to stay alive.
