- Kane Williamson Drives The Middle Order:
The Kiwis flagged off their campaign in some style thanks to the sheer elegance and beauty with which skipper Kane Williamson batted against Australia.
During his flawless ton at Birmingham, Kane oozed class and grace with every stroke, as he toyed with the helpless Australians. However, once he was dismissed none of the middle order batsmen could capitalise on that and a collapse was witnessed.
Being the most technically sound batsman, Williamson will have to fulcrum that middle order and ensure that he bats through and maintain a solid base for the last 10 overs.
