ICC World Cup 2019: 5 most balanced sides 

#4 New Zealand

The Kiwis are one of the most consistent teams in ICC tournaments. They have made it to the final 4 in the last three World Cups. New Zealand has an explosive top 3 with Martin Guptill and Colin Munro opening the innings followed by the classy Kane Williamson.

Ross Taylor and Tom Latham make their middle order look solid. They have the hard-hitting Colin De Grandhomme and the bowling all-rounder Mitchell Santner who can shift the momentum in death overs.

The bowling looks very promising with the experienced Tim Southee and Trent Boult leading the attack. They have Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson in the mix who can provide excellent support to their front line quicks.

Their spin department is taken care by Mitchell Santner who is an excellent ODI bowler and bowls economical spells and takes wickets. Colin Munro and Williamson can be the part-time options and can fill in the role of sixth bowler.

New Zealand is ably led by the calm and composed Kane Williamson, and he will have to play an essential role if New Zealand has to go all the way to the business end of the competition.
