England vs New Zealand: The 13th edition of ICC Cricket World Cup is about to begin from 5th of October. The finalists of the previous edition will kick-start the tournament. After the dramatic finale, England and New Zealand are again ready to lock horns in the One Day World Cup.
There has been only one instance in which England and New Zealand have locked horns on the Indian Soil in World Cup, which was in 1996 edition, in which the New Zealand bettered the former. Coincidentally, the venue they played back then is the same as they’re gonna play this time around, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Other than that, they have a tight H2H record with 5 wins each against each other in One Day World Cup games.
