Intro
As the dust settles after the highly contested final match of the 2019 Cricket World Cup, it’s time to look ahead to the 2023 World Cup. In the last tournament, New Zealand performed exceptionally good, making it all the way to the final but ultimately falling short to lift the trophy. As the 2023 World Cup approaches later this year in India, many fans are wondering whether or not New Zealand will be able to make it back to the final and finally lift the world cup trophy this year. In this blog post, I will be predicting New Zealand’s road to the World Cup 2023 Finals.
Previous World Cup performances
In the previous World Cup, held in 2019, New Zealand had an outstanding performance. Led by their star captain, Kane Williamson, the team showcased their skills and determination throughout the tournament. They played with great intensity and were able to make it all the way to the final, where they faced off against England.
It was a nail-biting finale, with both teams scoring the same number of runs at the end of the match. However, due to a tie-breaker rule, England was declared the winner based on the boundary count. It was a heartbreaking loss for New Zealand, but their efforts were commendable.
This was not the first time New Zealand had reached the finals of the World Cup. In fact, they had previously reached the finals in 2015 as well against Australia, where they were defeated by Australia. Despite falling short in both finales, New Zealand’s performances in these tournaments highlighted themselves in the cricket world.
The current squad
The current New Zealand squad is a talented group of individuals who have proven themselves on the international stage. Led by their inspirational captain Kane Williamson, the team consists of some of the finest cricketers in the world.
One of the standout players in the current squad is Trent Boult. Known for his swing bowling, Boult was instrumental in New Zealand’s journey to the finals in the 2019 World Cup. In World Cup 2019 he has also take Hat-Trick at Lords. His ability to pick up early wickets and provide breakthroughs at crucial moments will be vital in the upcoming tournament.
In addition to Boult, the New Zealand squad boasts a balanced mix of experienced players and young talents. Players like Martin Guptill and Lockie Ferguson bring a wealth of experience and a solid batting lineup to the team, while youngsters like Tom Latham and Kyle Jamieson have shown immense potential in recent matches.
Although New Zealand may have lost against England in the 2019 World Cup finals and were also runners-up in the 2015 World Cup, their squad remains strong and determined. In 2019 the luck was also not in their favour as there boundary count was lower than England.
Newzealand fans will be eagerly watching as New Zealand’s current squad strives to make history and lift the World Cup trophy for the first time.
