New Zealand: They are having one of the worst runs. They were on a 11-match losing streak last year and have won only two of their past 16 ODIs. But the appointment of South African pace legend Allan Donald as the bowling coach has come at the right time. In coach John Wright, they have some one who has great knowledge about sub-continent conditions. The Kiwis can always spring a surprise.
Key man: Skipper Daniel Vettori is one of the best all-rounders in ODI. The left-arm spinner also has a great loop, which can fox even the best in the world. Middle-order batsman Kane Williamson,20, will be the one to watch out for. He scored a century on Test debut in India last year and also scored a century in Bangladesh last year.
World Cup record: Played 62, Won 35, Lost 26, No result 1
Squad: Daniel Vettori (captain), Hamish Bennett, James Franklin, Martin Guptill, Jamie How, Brendon McCullum, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Jacob Oram, Jesse Ryder, Tim Southee, Scott Styris, Ross Taylor, Kane Williamson, Luke Woodcock. Coach: John Wright
