New Zealand vs England Chances of Winning
New Zealand made a meal of their first test at Christchurch where their performance proved severely inadequate against England. Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips and skipper Tom Latham top-scored with 93, 58* and 47 runs, respectively. With minor contributions from the rest, New Zealand were able to post 348 runs on the scoreboard before getting bundled out. England’s Bazball-esque approach saw them surpass the target by a lot, having outperformed the hosts with 499 runs on the board. This was made possible by Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Ollie Pope, Gus Atkinson and Ben Duckett who each scored 171, 80, 77, 48 and 46 runs, respectively. Admittedly, their top order was not of much help in this scenario.
New Zealand fought back and scored 254 runs in their second innings but remained on tenterhooks. Daryl Mitchell and Kane Williamson’s performances were the only worthwhile contributions as they added 84 and 61 runs, respectively, to the tally. At this point, New Zealand landed themselves in hot water and England breezed past by making up the deficit with 104 runs to complete a successful fourth-innings chase. England made a solid start to the series with an eight-wicket victory.

New Zealand vs England Betting Tips
New Zealand to score under 26.5 before first dismissal @ 1.86 (Parimatch)
Tom Latham and Devon Conway could not make a breakthrough against England on both occasions during the first match. While Conway lost his wicket far too early in the first innings, resulting in an opening stand of four runs, it was Latham who turned out to be the weak link at the second time of asking which led to an opening total of three runs. It does not help that Latham and Conway’s averages of 24.00 and 5.00, respectively, in the series so far are quite unfavorable. Given how powerful England’s bowling attack is with the likes of Brydon Carse, Shoaib Bashir, Gus Atkinson and Chris Woakes, New Zealand’s openers have got their work cut out for them.

New Zealand vs England Betting Odds
England to have a better opening partnership than New Zealand
Neither of the teams’ openers were able to secure a double digit stand across four innings in the first match. Tom Latham and Devon Conway’s partnership came to an end after four runs in the first innings, owing to the latter’s dismissal in the second over. The second time around, it was Tom Latham who collapsed first which resulted in a first partnership of three runs. England were no better in this regard as Zak Crawley failed to pull his weight both times while Ben Duckett faced the brunt of it; the pair scored totals of 9 and 1 before the first dismissal. However, Zak Crawley has the potential to bounce back and return stronger in the next match, making England’s opening wicket the favorite in the upcoming match.
