Devon Conway out, Chapman to open with Latham: Probable New Zealand XI for T20 World Cup 2024

Will the Black Caps be able to clinch their first T20 World Cup Trophy, or will they again leave the T20 World Cup airport with the contender tag? Check out the list of probable New Zealand XI who may get selected in the Kiwi squad for the T20 World Cup 2024

“Consistently the contender but never the champion,” this phrase suits the Black Caps team well. New Zealand has always been a dangerous side, with a packed batting lineup and top-notch bowlers like Trent Boult. However, they’ve never quite transcended their performances into top results.

In the last 10 years, they’ve consistently performed well in the group stages of every ICC white-ball tournament. However somehow they always lost their grip when it mattered most. So will they be able to clinch their first T20 World Cup title. Or will they again leave the T20 World Cup airport with the chokers tag again?

The attacking duo of Mark Chapman and Finn Allen might take the strike as the openers. We may see both of them striking the ball in the first 6 overs. Kane Williamson will bat in the No. 3 position as usual. Williamson, who provides stability at the top, is expected to play a key role at this spot. Although he might shuffle his position according to the situation, as T20 cricket demands instinctive changes if required.

Speaking about their bowlers, apart from Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra, who play a role as all-rounders for the team and bowl if the team and pitch demand. Kiwi team have a number of serial wicket-takers in the form of Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Mitchell Santner, and Jimmy Neesham. The team is packed with impressive players, and it will be interesting to see if this Kiwi lineup can clinch their first T20 World Cup title or not.
