Powered by unbeaten hundreds from Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, New Zealand outclassed defending champions England by nine wickets in the World Cup opener in Ahmedabad on Thursday. England made 282 for 9 as they struggled monumentally, except Joe Root, against New Zealand bowlers, and the Kiwis overhauled the target in just 36.2 overs. Conway (152) and Ravindra (123) were the architects of their awesome chase on a pitch that looked considerably eased up compared to the England innings.
Rachin Ravindra made perfect use of his promotion in the New Zealand batting order to slam his maiden century and guide his team to a sensational win over England in the Cricket World Cup 2023 opener in Ahmedabad on Thursday. The 23-year-old was sent to bat at No.3 in the absence of Kane Williamson and he went on to score an unbeaten 123 off just 93 deliveries. The partnership with Devon Conway meant that England had no chance of a fightback in the game and New Zealand started their campaign on a thumping note. While Ravindra's parents both hail from India, his name actually comes from two Indian cricket team batting legends – Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.
Overwhelmed with hospitality since arriving in India, Babar Azam is completely feeling "at home" in Hyderabad but didn't forgot to add that Pakistan cricket fans have been missed amid their build-up for the World Cup. The Babar-led Pakistan side has been based in Hyderabad where they played two warm-up matches and will take on New Zealand on October 6 in their tournament-opener. A few days ago, PTI reported that the Pakistan Cricket Board has written to the ICC seeking prompt action on the visa process for its fans and media. "I think the hospitality was quite nice. We were not expecting this, but I think the way people are responding towards our team, everyone (has) enjoyed it," Babar told the media here during ICC's Captain's Day event.
South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma's picture from a pre-World Cup captains' meet went viral on social media on Wednesday. The photo that was circulated online had Bavumna sitting on a chair alongside other players on the stage during the meet.

"Temba Bavuma has just fallen asleep in the World Cup captain's conference," wrote England's Barmy Army while sharing the photo on X, formerly Twitter.
