The Blackcaps are on a roll to begin this year's tournament. After blowing out England in the opening match of the competition, New Zealand outmuscled minnows Netherlands to make it two wins in as many matches played in the tournament so far. With their talismanic skipper back in action, New Zealand have been further bolstered and are now looking as one of the prime contenders to lift the glittering trophy.
