New Zealand enters the ODI World Cup 2023 under a familiar situation after frequently being written off before to competitions only capable of punching above their weight. New Zealand has two bowlers within the top 10 of the ODI World Rankings. Trent Boult and Matt Henry will be holding out the new ball in hope of scalping some wickets early on.
The seasoned Southee, who will participate in his fourth World Cup, will complement the two. Although they have experience, their spin bowlers are not as skilled as those from other countries, which could pose a major problem.
