  Right then, the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup is up and running with an absolute shocker of a game and it is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a lot, lot more cricketing action to come over the next 6-7 weeks and in the 2nd game of the tournament, it will be Pakistan taking on Netherlands in Hyderabad on Friday, the 6th of October. That clash will begin at 2 pm IST (8.30 am GMT) but our build-up, as usual, will begin a lot sooner. Do join us then, take care and goodbye!
9.06pm
  New Zealand's skipper Tom Latham says that it was a fantastic performance. Adds that it was an unbelievable partnership between Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra and it was all setup by the bowlers. Credits the bowlers for restricting England to a below-par total. Mentions that they have had a pretty good build-up leading up to the event and they have experienced guys in the side as well. Feels that it is about adapting to the conditions as quickly as they can. Shares that Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra played proper cricketing shots which was pleasing to see. On Rachin Ravindra, he says that it was pretty special to watch and they are looking forward to getting around him later on.
8.54pm
  The Presentation ceremony...
8.53pm
  Rachin Ravindra is the Player of the Match for his sensational knock of 123 runs from 96 balls. He says that is unbelievable at times but it feels great to have a great day out. Mentions that the bowlers bowled well and he was lucky enough to have Devon Conway alongside. On Devon Conway, he says that they spent a lot of time together and they are very close mates. Adds that he is lucky enough to share this inning with Conway. Shares that the surface was similar to Hyderabad and therefore, it was not too tough to adjust.
8.53pm
  Earlier in the game, the stand-in skipper for New Zealand, Tom Latham had no hesitation in opting to bowl first and it was well backed by a top spell from Matt Henry early on. Trent Boult however looked undercooked but the bowling changes worked wonders for the Kiwis. Jos Buttler and Joe Root put on a big stand but once the former got out, it all started to go downhill for them. Every batter that came in got into the double figures and gave it away with Root being the only one to play a big knock but even he got out playing a bit of a reckless shot. Boult did make amends later on and it was the spinners that were the stars with Mitchell Santner and surprisingly Glenn Phillips picking up a few big wickets. England needed a 30-run stand from numbers 10 and 11 to limp to 282 runs. Coming to the chase, it was completely one-sided and the Kiwis won the contest with almost 14 overs to spare.
8.49pm
  Not the start England would have hoped for and it is more so due to the manner of defeat than the defeat itself that will be a big concern for them. Skipper Jos Buttler did mention prior to the opening game that there's no such thing as a favourites tag for them and maybe they lacked a bit of self-belief. Ben Stokes was certainly a big miss but when you look at the opposition's players who didn't play, England certainly had a stronger team. Chris Woakes was way off his game with the ball early on and the good work by Sam Curran in his first two overs was completely undone as there was no support from the other end. Arguably the world's fastest bowler, Mark Wood was treated to a real hammering too with Adil Rashid once again not being able to replicate the form that he displays outside India. In the end, they have a lot to work on and will look to bounce back quickly in their next game.
8.45pm
  Chasing is an art and the pair of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway have just handed a masterclass in the same. When England were restricted to 282 runs, it felt like it might be a tricky chase and when Will Young got out for a golden duck, New Zealand must have had a few nerves. But that is where a young guy like Ravindra can help you, absolutely no fear and he took on the English pacers from the word go. Conway too was on the move early on and given just a few months back he raked up runs for fun in the Indian T20 League, that would have given him the added confidence. The pair put on a mammoth 273-run stand shattering the previous highest partnership for New Zealand in a World Cup by more than a 100 runs. Conway finished with 152 as Ravindra too stayed unbeaten on 123 and even hit the winning runs.
8.40pm
  AIR NEW ZEALAND HAS TAKEN OFF! What a sensational display from the Kiwis and they have made a super quick start to this mega event as they clinch the 2023 Cricket World Cup opener by 9 wickets. Well, well, well! That was unexpected as the reigning champions, England have been handed a thumping defeat by the runners-up from the last edition. For New Zealand, this is a statement win and to do it without the likes of Kane Williamson, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson shows that when it comes to the big stage, they just find a way to win a few big games. It will taste especially sweet given what happened in the 2019 final and that leaves England a lot to ponder upon.

6.03pm
  We are back for New Zealand's reply. The England players are seen having a chit chat near the ropes. They get into a huddle before they disperse and are followed by the two New Zealand openers, Will Young and Devon Conway. Chris Woakes will start the proceedings with the new ball for England. Let's play...
6.02pm
  ... THE RUN CHASE ...
5.44pm
  Right then, New Zealand will be the happier of the two sides at the halfway mark. The bowlers have vindicated their skipper's decision to bowl first and the onus is now on the batters to finish the job. On the other hand, England were on course for a much bigger total and it would take some bowling effort from them to win from here. Can they succeed in doing so? Back in a bit for the chase...
5.43pm
  Glenn Phillips is down for a quick chat. He says that they were brilliant in the field and even though England got off to a flier, they pulled it back in the middle phase and they will take 280. Adds that England were missing Ben Stokes which helped a bit but Tom Latham made good bowling changes. Mentions that the pitch looks good and it will get better but might turn a bit as well which makes it more of an even contest.
5.43pm
  After being inserted into bat, England were off to a blazing start, with Jonny Bairstow getting off the blocks in the very first over. After chancing his luck for the first few overs, Dawid Malan eventually departed and was followed back into the hut by Bairstow. As he always does, Harry Brook looked to attack from ball one, but the same approach led to his downfall. Joe Root and Jos then got together and forged a solid recovery for England. During the 70-run stand, Buttler was the aggressor of the two batters, while Root was happy playing the second fiddle. Buttler missed out on a fifty, and it all went downhill for his side from there. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals but thanks to the unbeaten 30-run stand between Adil Rashid and Mark Wood, England have a competitive total on the board.
5.36pm
  A decent end to the innings for England but this has been a stunning bowling effort by New Zealand! Considering the bowling resources they had, Tom Latham will be pleased with how things have panned out. Trent Boult was not able to set the tone early, but it was made up for by Matt Henry keeping things quiet from his end. Henry was rewarded for his patience before Mitchell Santner got into the act and removed the other opener. The middle phase was a lull for New Zealand, as it was pretty much dominated by the pair of Joe Root and Jos Buttler. Just when both batters were beginning to flex their muscles, Matt Henry was brought back, and he nipped out the English skipper. It was all New Zealand post that as Tom Latham rotated his bowlers well and they kept chucking away with wickets. Matt Henry was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3 for 48 from his allotted overs. Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips accounted for two wickets each and were impressive in pulling things back for New Zealand.

OUT! CAUGHT! The dot ball pressure is telling! Trent Boult runs in and bowls another knuckle ball but the line is much straighter this time. This is full and around middle, Liam Livingstone looks to play the pick-up shot over mid-wicket but is undone by the lack of pace and ends up chipping it straight down the throat of Matt Henry at long on. Henry makes no mistake and after four dot balls, Boult gets his first wicket of the tournament, clever bowling.

  Drinks break! New Zealand have wrestled back the initiative with the wicket of Jos Buttler. Tom Latham has rotated his bowlers well and has been rewarded with timely wickets. England have been dealt a massive blow just as both batters were starting to change gears. The onus will now be on Joe Root to bat with the lower order and get his side to a competitive total. An interesting phase of the game coming up.

It is the wobble seam delivery that comes back in a shade as well. Jos Buttler hangs back and tries to manufacture a bit of room to glide it down to third man but gets a feather of an outside edge that Tom Latham gobbles up behind the stumps. England have now lost half their side as the dangerous Buttler departs after a promising knock.

  Drinks break! After opting to bat first, this is a decent start for England. They were off to a flier courtesy of Jonny Bairstow but the boundaries have dried up since his departure. On the other hand, New Zealand will be pleased with how things have panned out so far. They have pulled it back rather nicely and are doing a good job of keeping the runs in check. Rachin Ravindra comes into the attack now.

  Done with the pre-match proceedings and it is now time to get going! The two umpires are out in the middle as the Kiwi players take their places on the field as well. It will be the right-hand and left-hand combination of Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan to open the innings for England. Trent Boult has the new ball in hand and will be looking to get it to talk early on. Just the one slip in place and here we go...
1.52pm
  We are just a few minutes away from take-off in the 2023 Cricket World Cup but first, the two sets of players will line up for their respective national anthems. Before the anthems though, a legend of the game, Sachin Tendulkar walks out and stands beside that coveted trophy. It will be the national anthem of New Zealand first, followed by the national anthem of England.
1.39pm
  England's skipper Jos Buttler says that they would have bowled first as well. Mentions that it is a good wicket and they cannot wait to get going. Says that they had a good series against New Zealand and everyone is in a really good place. Shares that they are proud of the achievement in 2019 and are here to attack and win. Informs that Ben Stokes misses out due to a hip niggle. Ends by saying that Gus Atkinson, David Willey, and Reece Topley are the others missing out.

  TOSS - The coin toss lands in the favour of Tom Latham and New Zealand have opted to BOWL first.
1.15pm
  On the other hand, New Zealand came ever so close in 2019, but, as luck would have it, they had to settle for a runner-up finish. Kane Williamson and Co. will be hoping to go one step further this time and clinch their maiden ODI World Cup title. The Black Caps' skipper featured in the two warm-up games but is still not fully fit for the opening encounter, as is Tim Southee. As is the case before any ICC event, not many see New Zealand as the favourites, but they are the dark horses again. Will the Kiwis fly high? Or will England begin their title defence with a win? Let's find out. Toss and team news coming up shortly...
1.03pm
  England have been unstoppable since their 2019 triumph and are the reigning champions in the T20I format as well. Jos Buttler's men will be eager to extend their white-ball legacy by adding another trophy to the cabinet. Coming out of retirement for the mega event, Ben Stokes is performing as if he never left, and a lot will hinge on him. However, a hip niggle has meant that the star all-rounder is in doubt for England's campaign opener. Considering their ruthless approach in white-ball cricket, England are one of the firm favourites to go all the way and retain the title.
1.00pm
  Hello and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen! The 2023 ODI World Cup is here, and we are here to bring you all the action for the next 45 days. The 2019 final at Lord's had everything from a tied Super Over to a boundary count and an England win by the barest of margins. Four years later, the two best teams of the 2019 edition, England and New Zealand, will kick off the 2023 ODI World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
