Top 5 ODI bowlers since 2015 ICC World Cup

#4 Trent Boult, Matches- 41; Wickets- 82; Average- 24.46; E.R- 5.39

New Zealand v England - 3rd ODI

In a Kiwi side that, although consistent, but still bereft of the ruthlessness of their former leader Brendon McCullum, Boult remains one of the players from the rollicking New Zealand side of 2015 who still possesses the license to attack. Boult is one of the most underrated fast bowlers of the format, his ability to bowl long opening spells with relentless intensity in pursuit of defending low totals is a great addition to Kane Williamson's side that prefers to play a safer brand of cricket.

Boult will relish the prospect of taking the shiny new ball under the English skies, conditions familiar to the ones at home. Like Dale Steyn from a few years back, Boult has staved off a few yards from his pace in search of longevity and effectiveness. His marginally reduced speeds will aid in getting the ball to move in the air with a greater magnitude. A good opening bowler, Boult is effectively good at the back end of the innings specializing in angling the ball away from the batters' hitting arc.
