#2 New Zealand aim to identify their best seamers
There is an abundance of bowling talent in the Kiwis line-up. With the successful 2015 World Cup trio of Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Adam Milne back together, Williamson has little worries in the seam bowling front. Colin de Grandhomme and James Neesham both bowled in the warm-up here but it is likely that only one of them will fit in the eleven during the tournament.
With Mitchell Santner also available as an all-round spinner and Corey Anderson capable of delivering a few overs, the Kiwis have enough batting depth to omit one of Neesham or de Grandhomme, the latter looking more like the one to be benched after Neesham's useful outing with bat and ball.
