New Zealand couldn't quite achieve World Cup success over the years in spite of being a standout amongst the best cricketing countries. They went so close to winning their first title in 2015 but ultimately slipped against Australia in the final.

Nevertheless, the dark horses are back once again with a very balanced squad and fresh motivation. Almost all their departments look good on paper. Ish Sodhi from their spin department is the most youthful Kiwi player to play at the 2019 World Cup.

The leg spinner has so far picked up 39 wickets in 30 ODI matches. In spite of the fact that he is the youngest in the New Zealand squad, Sodhi remains the most matured among the most youthful players of other squads. He is also a key player for New Zealand.
