Im from New Zealand and i think the way that we are batting may not take us all the way to the final. Simply saying this is that When our top order bat good middle order fail agaisnt good teams such as england, australia, sri lanka. But when our top order fail our middle order play good.
If the blackcaps can make both openers and middle order play good shots and score runs without much time eg getting 60-90 runs with a strike rate above 90 or maybe 100 that will be good for us. But my favourites would have to be either Sri Lanka the form that they are on, South Africa but australia to test them but New Zealand is a team that can pull things out and chase down big totals such as in the Chapel-Hadlee series.
World Cup final.
