The right-handed wicketkeeper batter, Jonny Bairstow, started off the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 with a massive six, giving viewers a perfect start. Bairstow looked furious, with the bat clinching four more boundaries until England lost the first wicket of David Malan to Matt Henry. The batter slowed down a little after that wicket.

A little frustrated with the decreased strike rate, Bairstow tries to go big with an inside-out shot, leading to a simple catch for Daryl Mitchell. England lost their second opener to Mitchell Santner. New Zealand looks in good touch with the ball, putting pressure on the last World Cup champions.
