Strongest playing XI for each team in the 2019 World Cup 

New Zealand

One of the best batsmen in the world

As always, New Zealand go into the 2019 World Cup as the underdogs. Over the last two years, the Kiwis have shown that they can be a force to reckon with in ODIs as they troubled India in India and Pakistan in UAE, something that is very difficult to do irrespective of the format.

This Kiwi unit has the right mix of aggression and composure with some as consistent as Kane Williamson leading the side, the Kiwis should look to make it to the next round of the tournament. With his recent heroics, Jimmy Neesham might have got the edge over Colin de Grandhomme.

Strongest New Zealand XI: Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Kane Williamson (C), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham (WK), Henry Nicholls, Jimmy Neesham, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi and Trent Boult.
