3. New Zealand - (Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi ) - 8.5/10

The New Zealand bowling attack will be headed by Trent Boult and Tim Southee during the global tournament. The veterans have taken 177 wickets between them in T20Is and are one of the most experienced new-ball pairs who will be on display at the upcoming event.

The ace bowling pair is known to wreak havoc with their swing and will hold the cards for the Blackcaps.

Boult has been breathing fire with the ball in the last couple of years. He was the highest-wicket taker among fast bowlers in the last T20 World Cup with 13 scalps to his name. The left-arm pacer proved his worth in Australian conditions in the recently culminated ODI series where he took ten wickets in three games.

Besides the veteran duo, the Kiwis have the express pace of Lockie Ferguson. He has been a force to be reckoned with in the shortest format as he has taken 32 wickets in 21 T20Is at an economy of 6.84.

New Zealand also have an attacking spinner in Ish Sodhi, who has been entrusted by the Kane Williamson & Co. to provide breakthroughs in the middle overs in the past and has performed the role fairly well. He has taken 99 wickets in 76 games in the shortest format for New Zealand.
