Australia vs New Zealand 2016: 5 players to watch out for

Josh Hazlewood

#4 Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson

The New Zealand skipper has had an unusually quiet period of late, tied down by Ashwin in India and the after effects coming to the fore in the series against the visiting Pakistanis.

He will be New Zealand's anchor once again and on the fast, bouncy wickets in Australia, Williamson will be hard to stop. He has all the shots in his book and can take apart any opposition on his day. Touted as one among the four best batsmen in World Cricket these days, Williamson has the added responsibility of leading his troops.

Batting at no.3, Williamson may have to gel together the top order after the fall of an opener. Australia know Williamson can hurt after he smacked a six to win the game for Kiwis in the first round of the World Cup.
