Hyderabad: New Zealand won the ODI World Cup by nine wickets in the first match against England. After losing the toss, England scored 282 runs for the loss of nine wickets in the stipulated over. In reply, New Zealand overcame the target with the loss of just one wicket in 36.2 overs. Centuries by Devon Conway (152) and Rachin Ravindra (123) led the Kiwis to a huge victory.
One more reason to cheer for the Kiwis team. Kiwis are given hope by the team’s record of scoring their first century in the World Cup since 2007. 2007 World Cup held in the Caribbean Islands. Australian captain Ricky Ponting scored the first century of the tournament. The Kangaroos left the West Indies with the crown that day. The same happened in the 2011 World Cup when India won its second world title by defeating Sri Lanka in the final.
Virender Sehwag scored his first century in that World Cup. That too against neighboring Bangladesh. The situation is the same in 2015. Aaron Finch stood tall with his first century of the tournament as Australia won the title. The 2019 World Cup was full of criticism and controversies. English player Joe Root became the first to cross the three-figure mark.
England won the title. Kiwis opener Devon Conway scored the first century this time. Kiwis fans are hoping that Conway’s century will bring her maiden crown. But there are many people on social media who mock all this as superstition.
