England vs New Zealand, 1st Match, ODI World Cup 2023: Head-to-Head Player Battles to Watch

2. Mark Wood vs. Devon Conway

Mark Wood will now be playing an international ODI match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. On the other hand, Devon Conway will also be playing his first ODI in Ahmedabad. However, both have played IPL matches at the venue with Conway being part of CSK’s IPL 2023 win in Ahmedabad.

This is expected to be the first battle between the two players. Conway is an exciting opener who has all the shots in his kitty and looks to maximize the powerplay overs. Mark Wood is the fastest England pacer and will look to get rid of Conway before he does any damage.
