ENG vs NZ 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
England and New Zealand play the second match of four in their ODI series in Southampton on Sunday. The series began in Cardiff on Friday afternoon with New Zealand producing an excellent batting display to win the ODI by 8 wickets with 26 balls remaining. Read on as we preview this fixture. The second ODI gets underway at The Rose Bowl at 11:00 local time.
England have now lost their last two ODIs and the current World Cup holders will be desperate to get back in good form ahead of the 2023 World Cup which starts next month.
New Zealand have now won their last three matches on this tour. They have batters who are able to play aggressively but without throwing their wickets away and as a result are a very strong side.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
Jos Buttler will want to walk the fine line between giving valuable experience to young players and still getting victories in this series. Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Mark Wood were all rested on Friday with Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy missing with minor injuries.
ENG Key Players
- Jos Buttler- the skipper hit five fours and two sixes in Cardiff on Friday and he will enjoy a bit more pace in the wicket in Southampton for this game.
- Liam Livingstone- the Lancashire batting all-rounder was a big positive for England in the first game of the series. He hit 52 runs from 40 balls at the end of the innings and his confidence will be up for his clash.
- Adil Rashid- the experienced spinner was off the field for a number of overs which meant he was unable to bowl again until late on in Cardiff. England are a much better team when he is able to bowl his leg-spin.
ENG Team Form
It was a poor bowling performance for England on Friday and they will come into this game looking to avoid their third successive ODI defeat.

NZ Team News
Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner were both left out of the team for Friday’s ODI and we expect them to come back in for this game. Confidence is high across the squad with the side looking to win their fourth successive match on the tour.
NZ Key Players
- Devon Conway- the consistent left-hander had a disappointing T20I series but was at his reliable best as he produced another international century in the last match.
- Daryl Mitchell- the batting all-rounder produced one of the best ODI innings seen for a long time in England on Friday. England’s bowlers will be worried to see him at the crease again after his seven sixes on Friday.
- Tim Southee- the T20I skipper is always a threat at any stage of an innings. He should get some swing under cloudy skies in Southampton.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand are targeting their third successive ODI victory and impressed, particularly with the bat, in the last game.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Devon Conway (wk), Will Young Tom Latham (c), Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Matt Henry

Who will win England vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Match?
Under Jos Buttler’s leadership, we expect to see this England team respond well in this game. New Zealand were the top side in the last game but we are backing England to be the top team on Sunday.
🏆 England vs New Zealand Prediction
With the start of their defence of the World Cup now only one month away, England will want to eliminate bowling performances like were seen on Friday in the rest of the build-up to the tournament. New Zealand showed what a good team they are and went about their chase with just the right approach on Friday. We expect a close match on Sunday and are backing some of England’s batters to make really big scores and for England to win the game.
