Predicting New Zealand’s Top 3 Performers for their 3rd Test against England

As we prepare for the third and final Test, England completed a fantastic second Test victory to double their lead against New Zealand, who have been incredibly disappointing thus far in this series. The Kiwis have struggled to find their rhythm with bat and ball, and only Kane Williamson has looked a threat in their batting lineup, averaging 48.75 in the series. Players like Darryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra, who the Kiwis heavily relied on in India, have also been disappointing.

The hosts’ bowling line will have their hands hard keeping the explosive Harry Brook quiet in Hamilton, but New Zealand hopes speed veteran Tim Southee can cap off his test cricket career with a victory over England in the third and final match of the series. The tourists aim for a 3-0 series whitewash when Southee plays his 107th test against the team he faced on his debut 16 years ago.

1. Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson was the home team’s best player, who had just recovered from an injury. As he scored an impressive 93, the veteran batter displayed his signature tenacity. He established vital partnerships throughout the innings, despite having a tough start against the England seamers. In four Test matches against four different countries, Williamson became the first hitter from New Zealand to reach 1,000 runs.

2. Matt Henry

Since Trent Boult retired from international cricket Matt Henry has taken his role of getting break-through. He has become one of the key members of the team. In the current Test match series against England, Matt Henry has given the team important wickets and England is seen in trouble against the pacer. As Tim Southee has announced his retirement Matt Henry will be crucial for the team set-up.

3. Rachin Ravindra

Rachin Ravindra has been a stand-out player for New Zealand since his debut. During the India tour, Rachin Ravindra smashed centuries and was a key player with bat and ball for the team as they defeated India at home after 12 years. Ahead of the third Test match against England Rachin Ravindra is only five runs short of completing 1000 Test runs for New Zealand.
