Top Three Players Of India And New Zealand Cricket Team

World Cup is now only about five months away from the present day, the ODI comes to a bigger significance in relation. All the Teams are eyeing towards several team combinations seen in recent past so as to achieve their best possible playing XI before the World Cup.

England have been at a great spark in the matches of ODI cricket and their fortunes in the 50 overs game format turned happy for them in last four years. Though they had missed out a spot in the previous edition quarterfinal of the World Cup tournament held in Australia and New Zealand, they currently are placed to win the title as the favorites. While there are two teams that can be suspected to give England a tough competition to win a title in the World Cup as it is based on the current form of the two teams, which are New Zealand and India. As if we observe the stats of the ODI matches which are played since January 2017, New Zealand and India are making it to the best winning rate and both of the teams are just behind of England. So the current five match 50-Over series between the two teams in which the first match is won by India will be observed to be a fantasy contest between the two strong teams to put up their name up in the list of favorites to win the title. The conditions in the Kiwis country will show us a glimpse of world cup as there will be flat pitches and small boundaries in England which would make us to mark up as an indication of the abilities of two teams against each other and their chances to win the World Cup. India and New Zealand had many similarities. Both sides seems to include potent bowling strength with variety and are leaded up by two great batsman of the era which is Virat Kohli for India and Kane Williamson for New Zealand. While for both the teams the unsettled middle order is needed to be sorted out by end of the current series. The 'Big Three' performing batsmen at top of the batting lineup may be said to be at equal levels in both the teams. Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli proved themselves among the best top three batsman in the Indian cricket history of ODI cricket. Kohli is the remarkable batsman of the format while Rohit and Dhawan has shown a great potential. Likewise New Zealand team carries Martin Guptill who has come out to be one of the most consistent opening batsman. While Williamson is leading the team well along with making new records with each match. Ross Taylor is consistent and scoring well in ODI matches.
