New Zealand’s T20 World Cup Squad 2021, Schedule, Date, Time, And Venue. The seventh edition of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is all set to commence on October 17 and the final of the tournament will take place on November 14. Notably, the tournament was shifted to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and OMAN due to the Covid-19 scare in India. However, BCCI still holds hosting rights. Meanwhile, Team New Zealand led by Kane Williamson will be a team to watch out for.

The Kane Williamson-led New Zealand always enters the big ICC events with the tag of the underdog and does something stunning to earn praise from the cricket lovers and experts. They have been consistently performing well for the last few years in limited-overs cricket.

As they reached finals of 50-over World Cup in 2015 and 2019. Also in the longest form of the game, they have been performing exceptionally well. Recently, they participated in the finals of ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2021 against Virat Kohli-led India and they won the inaugural champions.

New Zealand is placed in Group 2 of the tournament, alongside India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Notably, Team New Zealand won four back-to-back T20 international series heading into the T20I series against Bangladesh. However, they had a terrible run in the 5-match T20I series against the Bangla Tigers. In the first match, they got bowled out on 60 and lost the game by 7 wickets. Overall they faced a T20I series loss against Bangladesh by 3-2.

So far the Blackcaps haven’t won the ICC T20 World Cup trophy. However, looking at the team’s recent performance there is no doubt that they have full potential to win the T20 World Cup 2021. Also, new faces like Devon Conway and Kyle Jamieson are expected to play a huge role for Kiwis in the T20 World Cup 2021. Meanwhile, Veterans like Kane Williamson, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, and Martin Guptill will provide much-needed experience to the side.
