Although South Africa Women won the first game of the series, England Women came back in the second. They have won four of the last five ODIs against South Africa Women. Aside from that, their convincing 3-0 win in the second match of the T20I series has given them great confidence in their ability to stop Wolvaardt's side. Considering the team combination, South Africa-W is expected to win this match.

Following the conclusion of the first Test between England and New Zealand, both teams were docked three WTC points and 15% of their match fees for maintaining slow over rates during the Hagley Oval test. 

England captain and all-rounder Ben Stokes was left confused after his side incurred a loss of WTC points despite finishing the game 10 hours earlier than the scheduled cessation time. 

See also: New Zealand receive another huge blow in WTC points table

So what's all the fuss about? 

Prior to the build-up to the first Test, Stokes claimed that he was overly confused by the whole idea of WTC and labeled it as "utterly confusing". Furthermore, the marquee all-rounder also added that he never gave the notion of the WTC enough consideration. 

England finished fourth in the earlier edition of the WTC cycle and are currently ranked sixth in the ongoing WTC edition meaning that they will miss their spot for the finals a second straight time. 

Stokes took to his Instagram handle to respond to the sanctions from the ICC. Writing on his Instagram story, Stokes took a humorous swipe at them by stating the following:

"Good on you ICC. Finished the game with 10 hours of play still left."

After losing 19 of the 28 points they earned during the 2023 Ashes series, England has now been punished 22 WTC points in the 2023–25 cycle for their slow over-rates. In the aftermath of the first Test, both teams were found guilty of being behind by three overs even after taking time allowances into consideration. 

Where do the two teams stand now in the 2023-25 WTC points table?

The implementation of slow over-rate penalties has done more harm than good to New Zealand who were coming off after registering a famous test series sweep against India. The defeat has now tarnished their WTC aspirations as the Black Caps slipped from fourth to fifth position in the points table and can only move as high as 55.36% with wins from their remaining two fixtures in the series.

England on the other hand, are all but out of the WTC Final race but have bettered their standing slightly by moving to the sixth position. 

NZ vs ENG Match Preview

The second Test between New Zealand and England is expected to begin on December 6 in Wellington. England will look to build on their 8-wicket win in the first Test, when they effectively chased down a 104-run target in just 12.4 overs.

NZ vs ENG Probable Winners:

England's strong batting lineup and well-balanced bowling attack will make it hard for New Zealand to win. However, New Zealand has a solid home record and is not going to go down without a fight. It's expected to be a close match, but England's experience and depth could give them the advantage they need to win. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.

Star England batter Joe Root surpassed batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar as the leading run-scorer in the fourth innings of Test cricket during England's stunning eight-wicket victory over New Zealand in the first Test at Hagley Oval. Root, playing his milestone 150th Test, scored a brisk 22 off 15 balls as England chased down a modest target of 104 in just 12.4 overs, securing an convincing win.

Joe Root achieves a feat

However, Joe Root now leads the charts for the most runs in the fourth innings with 1,630 runs, with legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who smashed 1,625 runs, now second on the list. Alastair Cook and Graeme Smith share the third spot, each scoring 1,611 runs as well. WI great Shivnarine Chanderpaul placed at fifth in the list with 1,580 runs as well.

However, Brydon Carse, in his third Test, bowled his career-best spell of 6 for 42, completing a rare overseas ten-wicket haul with his match figures of 10 for 106 as well. Carse's bowling then dismantled New Zealand's lower order on the fourth day, despite resistance from Daryl Mitchell, whose steady 84 delayed England's win. Jacob Bethell, making his debut, scored an unbeaten 50 off 37 balls, including eight boundaries and a six. His composed knock saw England win, fittingly with a single to deep square leg as well.

Openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett got out very early, but Joe Root and Bethell ensured there were no further dismissals as well. Duckett had earlier set the stage with a quick 27 off 18 balls, while Harry Brook, who smashed 171 in the first innings, was not required to bat again. New Zealand started the day at 155 for 6 with a slight lead of four runs and faced a tough battle against England's relentless bowling as well.

England register a convincing win

Tim Southee's cameo, featuring two sixes, and Mitchell's determined knock showed some hope. However, Carse and Gus Atkinson removed the tail, with Chris Woakes taking a stunning catch to dismiss Mitchell and seal the innings at 254 as well.

However, during the match, England captain Ben Stokes left the field with stiffness in his lower back during the morning session. Though he later reassured that he would be fit for the second Test in Wellington later on.

Notably, England head into the second Test in Wellington with a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series as well. With Root's milestone, Carse's breakthrough, and Bethell's dream debut, England seem to carry their winning momentum. New Zealand, on the other hand, must regroup to work on the loopholes the series as veteran Tim Southee, playing his final home series, hopes to have a memorable farewell.

The second Test will begin on Friday.

Exactly on this day 45 years ago, Australia and West Indies took part in a historic day/night ODI match at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in Sydney. The match was a part of the Benson & Hedges World Tri-Nations series featuring the host Australia along with West Indies and England.

The clash between Australia and West Indies was the inaugural match of the tri-series which was played in coloured clothing and with a white leather ball. That day marked a new chapter in the history of ODI cricket since its inception in 1971.

Australia triumphed in the opening encounter of the Benson & Hedges Tri-series

In a first, the opening match of the tournament was played under floodlights attracting an enormous number of spectators to the stadium. After winning the toss, Australian captain Greg Chappell inserted West Indies to have a bat first.

Alvin Kallicharran top-scored for the Windies but missed out on his well-deserved half-century by one run. The Australian pace attack was led by Dennis Lillee and Len Pascoe who accounted for six dismissals while Allan Border finished with sublime figures of 3-36 to restrict West Indies to 193. 

The Australian skipper led from the front and constructed a well-compiled score of 74 (100) and Kim Hughes added a superb 52 (60) to help Australia chase down the target by five wickets with 17 balls to spare. 

Despite the defeat in the series opener, West Indies managed to reach the final where they faced England in a two-match final series. They won both the matches by 2-0 in the final to clinch the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup title. 

Further advancements 

In 1979, when the ICC and World Series Cricket came to an understanding, the first floodlit One Day International was introduced, starting from the tri-series in Australia. 

Further on, the influence of Floodlit cricket slowly spread to other parts of the world, although England was slow to take it up due to their climate. However, the Floodlit system made its first major breakthrough when it was first officially used in a first-class Sheffield Shield game in 1994 in Australia.

England's first Test against New Zealand is scheduled to start on November 28 at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.

WI vs ENG Probable Winners:

England has been sharp and efficient throughout this series, with various players stepping up at the right times to secure victories. In contrast, the West Indies have struggled, particularly in batting, and their bowling lineup—with the exception of Akeal Hosein—has been leaking runs. The series loss would have hurt them, and they'll be eager to fight back in the final two games to reclaim some pride. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.

WI vs ENG Match Preview

This is an important match for the West Indies to win. They must win this T20I to stay intact in the series. In contrast, England will look to maintain their dominance and secure the series with an unbeatable lead. The West Indies will rely on experienced batters such as Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran to provide a balance of calm and explosiveness, while England will look to Phil Salt and Jos Buttler to keep up their prime with the bat.
