ENG vs NZ Team Previews
England
After a string of losses across formats, the home team finally made a comeback on Sunday to level the ODI series.<br /> The top-order batsmen, who had played well in the first ODI, failed to get going this time as, at one stage, England lost 5 wickets with just 55 runs on the board.
However, Liam Livingstone partnered with Sam Curran to launch an excellent counterattack as the duo stitched a 112-run partnership for the 7th wicket. Livingstone scored a career-best 95, while Curran played an important knock of 42 runs.
While most of the English batsmen are in good form, they will need to be a bit more consistent in their performances. The pace trio of Reece Topley, Gus Atkinson, and David Willey was in prime form as they kept relentless pressure on the New Zealanders.
They picked up 7 wickets between them and played an important role in helping their team win. Moeen Ali chipped in with 2 wickets, removing the dangerous Daryl Mitchell and Mitchell Santner.
England Playing 11
Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Reece Topley.
New Zealand
New Zealand won the toss in the 2nd ODI and elected to bowl first as they wanted to take full advantage of the overcast conditions. Trent Boult made a sensational return to ODI cricket after a year as he picked up 3 wickets for 37 runs.
However, the bowlers from the other end failed to keep up the pressure. The likes of Tim Southee and Rachin Ravindra were pretty expensive and that allowed the opposition an opportunity to get their act together.
Coming to the batting, Daryl Mitchell continued with his good form as he second consecutive 50+ score. However, he received little support from the other batsmen. Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips, and Mitchell Santner fell for single-digit scores, while Conway, Tom Latham, and Will Young squandered away good starts.
New Zealand has shown a great amount of resilience on this tour and we expect them to bounce back.
New Zealand Playing 11
Will Young, Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Kyle Jamieson, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult, Benjamin Lister.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Kennington Oval is generally considered to be good to bat on. The average first-inning score on this ground is close to 250. However, the team batting first will look to reach at least 280 to give the bowlers some headroom.
There will be some movement for the quicker bowlers but once the batsmen are set, they should have no problems playing their shots.
ENG vs NZ Betting Tips
Both teams are evenly matched at this stage and it is very difficult to pick a winner. However, we are going to back England To win here as they have a stronger batting line-up compared to the visitors, which can be a boon on this ground.
Bet on England to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The pitch at the Oval is good to bat on and generally offers a flat track. The boundaries aren’t the biggest ones around and the outfield is pretty quick too. We, therefore, expect plenty of 4s to be scored.
England has a strong batting unit and some explosive batsmen at the top of the order. We are therefore backing them to put up a bigger score after 15 overs.
Daryl Mitchell is in good form with the bat and has scored 50+ in both matches. He has hit a 6 in both those outings and we are backing him to do so again.
