ICC World Cup 2019: New Zealand vs West Indies warm up game: 2 bowlers from NZ to watch out for
New Zealand will play its last and final warm up match against the West Indies today at Bristol.
In the previous warm up game against the tournament favourites India, the New Zealand team was successful in restricting the stalwarts of the Indian cricket team to just a total of 179 runs. Let's have a look at these 2 bowlers from the New Zealand side that will play a crucial role in their team's success.
1. Trent Boult- Trent Boult in his previous warm up match against the Men in Blue led the team's bowling attack right from the start. With an economy of 5.21, Boult single-handedly picked up 4 crucial wickets for the team including the two of the Indian openers (Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan). In a tournament where people's expectations lie in a 500 plus score, Trent's tremendous form with the ball makes it an interesting banter between the two.
2. Tim Southee- In his 7 overs in the last warm up match, Southee gave away just 26 runs with an economy of 3.71. He managed to pick up the wicket of the Indian cricket team's stalwart and former Captain MS Dhoni. His form will be crucial against the hard hitters of the West Indian team.
The Black Caps will require a huge contribution from their bowling unit in order to defeat the opposition and win their debut 50 over World Cup tournament.
