They created history by being only the 15th and 16th hitters to score a century in their first World Cup at bat. Conway, who bats from the left side, reached the century mark with a spectacular display of brilliance, hitting 13 fours and two sixes in his innings.

The first player to score a century in his first World Cup at bat was the Englishman Dennis Amiss. Amiss reached this landmark during the first-ever World Cup match, played against India in 1975. Not only did Andy Flower of Zimbabwe get a century in his first One-Day International, but he also did so in his first World Cup appearance, both in 1992.

The Kiwis made an electrifying start with the bat against hot-favourites England, who have been widely promoted to defend the title. A rather one-sided match in Ahmedabad was a stark contrast to the two teams’ last meeting in the 2019 World Cup final, when the match and Super Over ended in a draw and England ultimately won the trophy on the basis of a superior boundary count.
