Australia vs New Zealand, World Cup 2019: Mitchell Starc's battle with Kane Williamson to watch out for
Kane Williamson has been New Zealand's key batsman, but he will not have it easy against Australia's Mitchell Starc
The two neighbours from Down Under Australia and New Zealand will meet each other in the second game of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. The Kiwis have been led by their key player Kane Williamson with the bat, while Australia's hopes will rely on Mitchell Strac.
The Kiwi skipper is one of the top run-scorers in the World Cup thus far, and also had two consecutive hundreds to his name. The team relies heavily on Williamson as he has been playing a pivotal role in the middle overs. However, he will not have it easy against Starc, who is the leading wicket-taker with 19 wickets.
The Aussie relies on his pinpoint yorkers to get wickets, and with Williamson struggling against quality pace, he could have a tough job in hand. The failure of the Kiwi openers and the poor form of their middle order has further increased the pressure on Williamson, and Starc will be looking to take advantage of just that.
