CARDIFF, WALES - JUNE 06: Luke Ronchi of New Zealand walks after being bowled for a golden duck by Jake Ball during the ICC Champions Trophy match between England and New Zealand at the SWALEC Stadium on June 6, 2017 in Cardiff, Wales.

Ronchi is yet to get accustomed to his new role as an opener. There is a definite McCullum characteristic in his batting at the top of the order and while that might be a good idea with someone like Tom Latham at the other end, with Martin Guptill adopting an equally aggressive approach, New Zealand are missing a solid opener.

Ronchi proved his doubters wrong with a superb innings against Australia that could well have won the game for the Kiwis. However, he departed for a duck in the game against England and the Bangladesh game might make or break Ronchi's stint at the top. Watch out for another slog-fest.
