Lower middle order: Hardik Pandya and Lockie Ferguson

Kane Williamsons' men are unbeaten so far and are looking set to go all way in the tournament. New Zealand have looked one of the most stable units, which is why they've performed better than most other teams.

The pacer has been in scintillating form and has caused the batsmen a lot of problems with his accuracy. So far Ferguson has taken 11 wickets in 4 matches, which is a brilliant return for a bowler in his debut World Cup campaign.
