ENG vs NZ Betting Tips
Jos Buttler was rested from the final T20I but impressed down the order in the third game of the series. He has a brilliant ODI record and the skipper is our tip for England’s highest run scorer in this match. Adil Rashid has 183 ODI wickets and he is a strong choice for England’s top wicket taker on Friday.
Devon Conway was not at his best during the T20I series but will have enjoyed his rest in Tuesday’s game. The left-hander is our pick for New Zealand’s highest run scorer in Cardiff. Trent Boult has taken 5x 5-wicket hauls in ODIs and the left-armer is well worth backing as New Zealand’s highest run scorer in this clash.
With excellent recent form, we suggest choosing Jos Buttler to score over 31.5 runs in this fixture.

ENG vs NZ 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
After a very entertaining T20I series which ended 2-2 on Tuesday evening in Nottingham, England and New Zealand turn their attention to ODI cricket with the first of four matches in this format. This will be the first ODI between the sides since their famous 2019 World Cup Final. This opening game of the ODI series gets underway at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff on Friday afternoon at 12:30 local time.
England have not played an ODI since early March of this year but now will be fully focusing on this format ahead of the World Cup. As ever, they will be hard to beat with such a strong batting unit.
New Zealand showed their character and talent during the T20I series as they fought back from 2-0 down. They will come into this series as underdogs but do not expect that to mean they are not competitive.
ENG vs NZ Match Toss Prediction
The last two ODIs at this venue saw 9 wicket wins for the teams batting second. As a result, we predict that both captains will choose to field first if they win the toss.
ENG vs NZ Pitch Report
There is always something in this wicket for both the spin and pace bowlers. We expect a par score to be no higher than 305 on this pitch.
Cardiff Weather Report
The forecast is for the temperature to be in the mid-20s for the majority of this game with the humidity levels climbing across the match.
