New Zealand vs West Indies 2017: 5 reasons why the Kiwis can whitewash Windies in the Test series

#4 Reliable No. 3 and No. 4

Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor form the core of New Zealand's batting

In Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor, New Zealand have an extremely solid middle order capable of dealing with any bowling attack in the world.

Williamson has enjoyed a brilliant 2017 in all three formats. He has racked up more than 1200 runs and averages close to 50 in all the formats. Meanwhile, Taylor has also scored more than 1000 runs in Tests and ODIs.

With New Zealand's lower middle order still finding its feet, these two have stepped up more often than not and delivered for the team and they will be looking to do so once again.
