Expected playing 11:
1.conway
2.guptill
3.kane
4.phillips
5.seifert(wk)
6.neesham
7.santner
8.southee
9.ferguson
10.boult
11.sodhi
Advantages:
•red hot form of conway and seifert and consistency of kane
•their pacers through ipl has got the understanding of the pitches and they would have adopted to it accordingly(though they failed in ipl)
•experience throughout the 11 majority of players have international experience and others have international leagues experience so they have enough knowledge on bowlers and batsman they gonna face
Disadvantages:
•kane injury he has been carrying a elbow injury since last half of ipl
•majority of their pacers failed in uae conditions despite understanding pitch as they are mostly swing oriented bowlers and there is no swing in offer in uae
•comperatively longer tail as neesham and santner are less dependable with bat so bulk of scoring needs to be done by conway guptill kane.
•santner and sodhi hasn't played much of cricket in recent times
key factors:
•conway right at the top who is unstoppable right from start is going to be key as he can make kane play his natural game and take the game away from opposition
•ferguson who created a miracle turnover for kkr in second half of ipl will also be the key for nz bowling unit
•neesham with ball has been a revolution in uae tracks so he holds the key in this pitches over nz spinners
Batting:7/10(over reliance on top 3 middle looks a bit inconsistent)
Bowling:7/10(their pacers are too swing oriented and don't know about the form of their spinners)
