#6 New Zealand

Primarily known for its fast bowling, New Zealand has produced some match-winning spinners like Deepak Patel, Daniel Vettori and currently Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi. Santner has been an asset for his team with his off-spin and batting abilities, whereas, Sodhi has been the wicket-taker with his wrist spin.
Ish Sodhi has proven to be a great find for New Zealand, especially in the limited overs format. His bowling abilities also got him a contract with the IPL team Rajasthan Royals in the 2018 auctions.
New Zealand would be hoping him to do well at the World Cup in 2019 and would also expect Santner to complement him from the other end. The spin duo of Santner and Sodhi would be vital for New Zealand in the tournament.
