The New Zealand cricket team has been wary of an ICC trophy for a long time now, as the last time they won was in 2021, when they beat India in the final of the ICC World Test Championship. Well, they have a huge opportunity on their hands now as we move closer to the ICC Men’s T20I World Cup 2024. It is time to find out how far they can go in the tournament and which five batters could be the ones to watch out for in the forthcoming tournament:
Kane Williamson
The New Zealand captain has been on and off the cricket field in the past few years due to injuries, but we expect him to be at the top of his game in the upcoming T20 World Cup and be the face of New Zealand’s batting. He is a phenomenal player of spin, and that will come in really handy for him in the tournament.

Finn Allen
The swashbuckling and attacking opener, Finn Allen, is definitely someone to keep an eye on in the T20 World Cup. Allen is a fabulously explosive batter who can smash sixes from ball one and score runs in quick time.
Devon Conway
Devon Conway, after missing out on the IPL due to an injury, is all set to open the innings for New Zealand in the forthcoming T20 World Cup. This southpaw is a brilliant batter and can also keep wickets. He will be a key player for New Zealand in order to provide good starts to the team.
Daryl Mitchell
We saw how much Mitchell has improved his game in the ODI World Cup last year, and we expect to see a much better version of him in the T20 World Cup this year. Daryl Mitchell is a crazy hitter on the cricket ball.
Glenn Phillips
Glenn Phillips could not play a single game in the IPL 2024 season, but he is not someone you can doubt in the shortest format of the game. Apart from being a sensational batter, he is one of the best fielders in the world as well.
