New Zealand have a similar squad for the World Cup compared to the last time. There are only three changes from the last squad. Lockie Ferguson, Michael Bracewell and Finn Allen replace Kyle Jamieson, Todd Astle and Tim Seifert. The core is expected to comprise of Kane Williamson, Mitchell Santner, James Neesham, Devon Conway and Trent Boult.
The Kiwi skipper has always brought out the best from his team in the ICC events, but the black caps are yet to win a World Cup. In order to end their trophy drought, Kane holds the key as he has the ability to anchor and pace the innings for his team
Trent Boult has made a name for himself over the years in the world of cricket. His early breakthroughs and death over bowling is highly rated by the experts of the game. On the pacy and bouncy Aussie wickets he is surely going to lead the chart in the wickets taken column.
The Proteas have a well balanced side and surely are one of the teams who is going to put some serious contention for the World Cup. The only concern shall be the form of their captain Temba Bavuma. With a player like Reeza Hendricks on the bench and Bavuma,seemingly the only weak link, Proteas would be hoping that their skipper hits form at just the right time.

David Miller has been a proven match winner for the Proteas. His ability to finish games on a high gives the batters some luxury to play around him and get settled. He will be one of the few players who will form the core of the South African batting lineup.
Another star with the ball, another player who is rated highly for his bowling skills throughout the world. The young pacer would like to use his experience and make sure he gets Proteas over the line in close finishes during the World Cup.
