The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 kicks off with an exciting clash between defending champions England and New Zealand. These two teams previously met in the 2019 World Cup final, a match that Eoin Morgan's squad won by the slimmest of margins. However, with Kane Williamson unable to participate for the Kiwis in this game, he hopes to see his team turn the tables as the prestigious tournament begins with this high-profile encounter. Although Williamson is not fully fit for New Zealand, England may also have to do without their star all-rounder, Ben Stokes. In Williamson's absence, Tom Latham will lead the Kiwis, while Harry Brook is expected to replace Stokes in England's starting lineup.
