World Cup 2019: Five players who flopped

#2 Martin Guptill (New Zealand)

Martin Guptill was the top run-getter in the 2015 World Cup but has struggled this time.

Martin Guptill has had a pretty poor tournament by normal standards and despite the Kiwis making it to the semis, Guptill along with the other openers in Colin Munro and Henry Nicholls, have failed to make the desired impact.

Guptill did start off pretty well and made an unbeaten 73 in the first game alongside Colin Munro's 58 in reply to Sri Lanka's paltry total of 138. Since then, he has however got out twice with out scoring and has struggled to find his form and consistency, getting out in weird ways including a hit wicket against South Africa.

He has made only 166 runs from 8 innings, averaging a poor 23.71 and his season has been a flop until now. He will get a chance to prove himself when New Zealand take on India in their semi-finals at Old Trafford and will look to finally come good for his side.
