ENG vs NZ 1st ODI: Where to Watch New Zealand vs England, H2H, Playing 11 & Full Match Details

England’s white-ball tour of New Zealand continues this Sunday with the first of three ODIs at Mount Maunganui, starting at 1 am.
The earlier T20I series was hit by bad weather, but the forecast for Sunday looks much better, good news for both the game and New Zealand’s chances.
ODIs are arguably New Zealand’s strongest format. They come into this series in good form, having last played in March when they swept Pakistan 3-0 at home.

Pitch Report – Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui
The pitch at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui is fairly balanced. Early on, fast bowlers can get a bit of help from it, but as the game goes on, it becomes easier for batters to score. Later in the match, the slower surface gives spinners a chance to make an impact.
