ENG vs NZ 1st ODI Dream11 Team Prediction: Preview

Welcome to our Preview for ENG vs NZ 1st ODI. The match will be played at the Seddon Park, Hamilton and This is our Dream11 probable playing XI for England vs New Zealand 1st ODI.

After the Australian tour, England is ready to take on the neighboring nation New Zealand. These two will play a 5-match ODI series followed by two Tests. The ODI series begins tomorrow.

England has been a champion side in ODIs since 2015. They have adopted this new model of attack which has transformed their white-ball cricket thoroughly. They defeated the Australian side in Australia comfortably which shows their remarkable progress. Winning in NZ will boost their confidence to new heights.

New Zealand may have lost the recent T20Is but in ODIs, they were unbeaten and unmatched against West Indies and Pakistan earlier in the year. A format that allows more time for batsmen and bowlers will suit NZ style of cricket.

With two teams high in confidence, this series is set for some super clashes ahead.
