WATCH: 23 year old Rachin took out Mark Wood's arrogance, played a pull shot and hit a tremendous six.

 

ENG vs NZ 1st Match: The first match of the World Cup 2023 is being played between England and New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where England, batting first, scored 282 runs in 50 overs and gave the target of 283 runs to the Kiwi team. When England made this score in the first innings, they must have thought that it would be a fighting total but the Kiwi team proved this target to be dwarf.

While chasing this target, the New Zealand team lost its first wicket in the second over itself, but after this, Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway made such an unbroken partnership for the second wicket which took England away with them. Looking at Rachin Ravindra, it did not seem as if he was playing his first match. He thrashed big bowlers like Chris Woakes and Mark Wood.

Ravindra especially beat Mark Wood a lot. Ravindra was swinging the bat at the same speed as Wood was bowling. During this time, Wood also tried a bouncer in the seventh over but Ravindra, while standing, hit a pull shot on that too and hit a six. Looking at this six of Ravindra, it can be guessed that speed has no effect on him and he has plenty of time to play shots. You can see this six of Ravindra below.

Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra laid the foundation of victory for their team by making a partnership of 200 runs for the second wicket. By the time the latest news was written, Conway had completed his century while Rachin Ravindra had reached the 90s. Both of them made the chase so easy that even if the England team had scored 400, perhaps the Kiwi team would have chased that score too.
