One of the biggest reasons behind New Zealand’s struggles has been their inability to take wickets consistently. Their bowlers have claimed just nine wickets in the tournament so far, the fewest among the 12 teams.
In comparison, England’s attack took 25 wickets.
A lack of breakthroughs prevented New Zealand from controlling matches, even when they posted competitive totals. His bat hasn’t fully clicked yet, with no player managing a score higher than 45 and the team yet to cross 162 runs.
A move away from Southampton, where they play their first three games, could offer a change of scenery.
