Jos Buttler had a chance to score a half-century after Joe Root in the opening match of the 13th edition of the ICC ODI World Cup. But Henry returned to the pavilion as Nicholls’ second victim. Cricket lovers were deprived of enjoying two half-centuries in the first innings of the opening match.
Batting at number six, he played uphill on the New Zealand bowlers from the start. Joe Root was leading the team to the big collection. But captain Latham was caught by Henry Nicholls for 188 runs.
Scored 43 runs off 42 balls which included 2 fours and 2 fours before getting out.
