11 England‘s batsmen in the 2023 World Cup opener against New Zealand in Ahmedabad on October 5 Everyone reached double digits. It’s a world record.
England won 282-9 after New Zealand stand-in captain Tom Latham opted to bowl in Ahmedabad. What was unique about their innings was the fact that everyone scored at least 11 runs. In other words, all 11 of England’s batsmen reached his double figures. This is a feat that has not been achieved in52 years and his 4,567 ODIs strong> p>.
The standings are as follows: Jonny Bairstow 33, Dawid Malan 14, Joe Root 77, Harry Brook 25, Moeen Ali 11, Jos Buttler 43, Liam Livingstone 20, Sam Curran 14, Chris – Woakes 11, Adil Rashid 15 not out, Mark Wood 13 not out.
This is probably a result of England’s batting ability. They were batting deep enough to put Rashid and Wood at Nos. 10 and 11, but their risky approach to wickets resulted in them getting wickets and helping both Rashid and Wood reach double figures. I gave you enough time.
On the other hand, the high risk was influenced by the composition of the New Zealand team, which had only three front bowlers: Trent Boult, Matt Henry and (given his obvious batting ability) Mitchell Santner. It is possible that
England broke the previous record of having 10 batsmen reach double figures in the same ODI innings in five innings.

With the exception of the last example (and England’s record against New Zealand), the team in question finished second each time.
We expect this to become more common in Test cricket as there is no limit to overs. This format has featured him 15 times, including his four times in the 2010s.
At the time of writing, New Zealand were 121-1 from 15 overs. We need 162 more balls out of 210.
