New Zealand punch above their weight every time in ICC events, be it the ODI or T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy, or even the World Test Championship. They won the inaugural WTC edition out of nowhere, beating India in the final, and time and again, have consistently qualified at least for the semis of an ODI and a T20 World Cup. They were the runners-up of the ICC Champions Trophy as well last year. The ongoing edition is another example of the way they’ve surprised many with their performance and have made it to the summit clash.
