#1 Corey Anderson not being sent up the order
Chasing a total of over 300, you need your best hitter to come in ideally just after the 30th over to get him enough time in the middle to get set before the onslaught. This strategy has been ideally utilised by England in the case of Ben Stokes, something that has helped them mount 23 300 plus scores since the 2015 World Cup.
For the Black Caps, it is Corey Anderson who can play the Stokes role but the southpaw has been coming way too low down the order to make much of an impact. Anderson has the ability to clear boundaries at well and should be given more time in the middle.
