ENG vs NZ: Team Previews
England
Host England started the series with a one-sided defeat in the first ODI at Cardiff. However, they came back strongly and won two back to back games, attaining an unassailable 2-1 lead in the four-match series.
Liam Livingstone inspired England to square the series in the second ODI, which was followed by another convincing win at the Oval, riding on the back of a record breaking century from Ben Stokes.
With the ball, Chris Woakes did the major damage in the last game, with significant contributions from Reece Topley. Heading into the final ODI, Jos Buttler and his men will be looking to sustain their winning form and hit the final nail in the coffin.
New Zealand

On the other hand, New Zealand should be very disappointed to not capitalize the early advantage they got after starting the series with a win in Cardiff. They went on to dominate at the early stages of the second ODI but England's comeback pushed them to oblivion.
Since then, it all went downhill for the visitors, including an embarrassing performance in London, the other day, which handed them a humiliating defeat in the third ODI. Trent Boult performance has been the only brighter side for the Kiwis in the last two games.
Coming into this match, New Zealand will be keen to turn things around and finish the series on a high. Even though they have lost the opportunity to win the series, Tom Latham and his men will be eyeing to be back to winning form and draw the series at Lord's.
