New Zealand

New Zealand is looking very formidable, despite the absence of their most valuable player. While they have a very experienced opening combo, Martin Guptill and Colin Munro. Their experience in the upfront will be really inevitable for the kiwis. However, they have a reasonable middle order who has the ability to accelerate. Three all-rounders in the team will remain a very important part of their attack.

In the bowling department, they will miss the service of their premier pace bowler Trent Boult. But still, they are well equipped as a bowling unit. Tim Southee will lead the attack along with fast & furious Lockie Ferguson. Jimmy Nesham and Grandhome will be really effective in the New Zealand condition with their gentle medium pace. While Santer and Ish Sodhi will be the core elements of their spin department.

In the bowling line-up, Curran brothers will represent the pace department. While the death bowling role of Chris Jordan will be really critical for his team. Adil Rashid will represent the team in the spin department.
