Australia v New Zealand - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup: Final

New Zealand can be hailed as the underachievers of the ICC World Cup as they looked favourites to win the World Cup in 1992 and 2015. However, some poor performances in the knockout matches led to their defeats in the most important matches.

They have won 48 out of their 79 matches at the World Cup and lost 30 out of them. The Kiwis have played the second most number of World Cup matches (second only to Australia) and have appeared at all the 11 World Cups played from 1975 to 2015.

The Blackcaps will play their 12th World Cup when they take the field in England in June 2019 and the Kiwis would love to win their first ever World Cup in the United Kingdom. Brendon McCullum and Martin Crowe have been the best performers for New Zealand at the World Cup.
