Strengths of New Zealand: 
While most groups have a tendency to have only one strong suit — either bowling or batting — New Zealand appreciate an equivalent point of interest on batting and bowling. Key players are  Brendon McCullum, Kyle Mills, Trent Boult, Tim Southee, and Adam Milne. And afterward there is the little matter of New Zealand getting a charge out of a fielding unit embodying players, for example, Martin Guptill, Williamson, Boult, and McCul
