England would look to seal the series against New Zealand in the 4th and final One-day international match that will be played at Lords, London on 15th September 2023. After being asked to bat first, England looked in trouble at 13 for 2 before Ben Stokes and Dawid Malan put on 199 runs for the third wicket laying a strong foundation for a massive total. Stokes made 182 off 124 deliveries putting enough pressure on NZ bowlers along with Dawid Malan 96.
On the other hand, Trent Boult was the pick of bowlers for NZ grabbing 5 for 51 including 2 early wickets of Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root. He then came back to get rid of well-set Malan and then dismissed 2 other batters. In the batting department, Glenn Phillips finished as the top scorer with 72 but could not get any support.
New Zealand might bring Finn Allen as an opener to put some pressure on England’s bowling. Kiwis team would look to perform and level the series at 2-2.
