Two-time finalists New Zealand will focus on clinching the trophy this time. Kane Williamson-led side has an adequate number of young blades and veterans who can do the job

After losing the 2019 final to England in an agonizing fashion, Kane Williamson & Co. would try to lift the trophy this time. New Zealand players know how to perform in the big matches.

Devon Conway and Will Young have done well as openers for quite some time now. Williamson and Tom Latham in the middle order with Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell and James Neesham as the power hitters give a solid combination to the team. A pace attack featuring Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry is a scary sight for any batting order. Young allrounder Rachin Ravindra will be an interesting factor for the team in the World Cup.
Squad:
Kane Williamson (c), Tom Latham (wk), Devon Conway, Will Young, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Rachin Ravindra, Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult, Tim Southee
