Another World Cup squad has been announced and it is the much anticipated New Zealand team for the big tournament. The New Zealand are a team that does consistently well in ICC events and reached the final of the last 3 ICC events. So, their team was very highly anticipated and this is a strong squad for New Zealand. The players are there and they just need to go that one extra mile to win this trophy this time. We will talk about the squad and do the analysis below.
Before we talk about the New Zealand squad I just want to say how fun it has been to talk about all the various Squads participating in this year’s World Cup and after this only 1 or 2 teams are left and then the action will start. So, with that being said let’s have a look at the New Zealand squad.

STRENGTHS
The top order batting of New Zealand is a big strength for them as there are many options and all of them can bat at a very good strike rate . Their fast bowling is very good and they have variety as well with right and left arm fast and wicket taking Bowlers.
WEAKNESSES
They only have the one specialist wicket keeper so if he gets injured then they don’t have any replacement. Their spin bowling is not that good and thus they will not get the advantage of the long boundaries in Australia.

OPPORTUNITIES
Their all rounders have a great opportunity to step up for the team and reduce the burden of the captain by performing multiple roles. Kane Williamson has a great opportunity to get back in form in this tournament and show why he is among the best.
THREATS
As I said before their spin bowling is weak shd the opposition teams can use that to their advantage by scoring runs against them and then their middle order is not as good as the top order so the bowling of other teams will try to get to the middle order quickly.
