New Zealand Cricket Team has always been an exciting side in all the ICC tournaments. ICC World Cup is not a different case. They have always performed well in the league stages. When it comes to the knock-outs, they have never cleared the semi-final stage. They have reached to the semi final 6 times in 1975, 79, 92, 99, 2007 and 11. Sadly they’ve lost every time. New Zealand will be looking to change it in ICC World Cup 2015.

New Zealand Cricket Team has enjoyed a good run over last year. They did not lose a Test series in 2014. The team registered wonderful wins against India at home and Pakistan in the UAE. They have defeated Sri Lanka 2-0 in the Test series and tied 1-1 in the ODIs.

Group: Pool A.

Captain: Brendon McCullum.

The team looks perfect in all the departments. Their fielding skills are unparalleled. The batting and bowling units complement each other. Brendon McCullum at the top provides the team aggressive start with Guptill. McCullum is capable of attacking the opposition and change the course of the match. Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor and Grant Elliott give strength to the middle order. Corey Anderson and Luke Ronchi in the lower middle order provide the firepower at the finish.

Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Adam Milne are a deadly trio. Their combination of accuracy, seam and swing with pace will be a tough proposition. Kyle Mills and Daniel Vettori add valuable experience to the team. Mitchell McClenaghan is also a good prospect in bouncy pitches.
