Since the arrival of Kane Williamson in the New Zealand squad has completely changed the scenario for the whole team. A team which once struggled to maintain its position in Top 10 ICC Ranking now stands first in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Standings. It is Kane Williamson who scored back to back centuries and kept his team alive in the nerve-wracking matches New Zealand has had against South Africa and West Indies. Now, how will Kane Williamson’s ban take effect on New Zealand team?
Due to slow over rate against West Indies, captain Kane got fined 20% of his match fees. Kane Williamson will also face a one-match ban. With their strongest player out of the squad, New Zealand might struggle to win their next match against Pakistan.
The 28-year-old has scored 373 runs in his four innings. Ross Taylor turns out to be the only other person who has scored well in the world cup. He has 200 runs to his name. There have been calls from former New Zealand players to coach Gary Stead to shake things up inside the team to boost the performances of other players as well.
However, Stead said that the team has been winning against other good teams even when they have not been performing to the top of their abilities. Well, as per many Indian cricket analysts Kane Williamson is the best player in New Zealand. Kane Williamson’s ban could very well open gates for Pakistan to win yet another match and pave their way to semi-finals.
So, what do you think about Kane Williamson’s ban? Will Pakistan win the match against New Zealand and enter into Semi-finals by winning another match after that? What are the chances of another India-Pakistan brawl this Cricket World Cup 2019? Comment down below.
