#2 New Zealand's batting order might

If there is a batting order that is strong enough to win the world cup right now, it has to be England, New Zealand and India. The black caps have a deadly opening pair in Martin Guptill and Colin Munro which can rip apart any bowling opposition.
Their number 3 is Kane Williamson who may not be as good as Virat Kohli but he has proved to be a good limited overs batsman. Then the middle-order consisting of the old workhorse Ross Taylor who has been in a great purple patch, and he has done quite well against India., Henry Nicholas who has been great form against Sri Lanka followed by a recently returned Jimmy Neesham whose all-around abilities cannot be taken lightly.
New Zealand has also been lucky enough to have bowlers who make some useful contributions which might test India.
