Weakness :-
It is tough finding the weakness in New Zealand team could have done with a more potent spin attack. While Vettori is on his final legs as an international player. One feels that if spin is to play a part in the world cup , they have not so much option into the 50-over battling.
Key players :-
Kane williamson is best among the top order line up across at this moment in this ODI format. He have wonderful playing in the limited overs batsman considerable skill and playing as anchor & aggressor playing according to the situation.
Brendon mccullum is new zealand's tailsman. He has grown immensly as a batsman over the last few years.
