#6 Pakistan - Babar Azam

Babar Azam has been consistently scoring runs for Pakistan. Azam has been in terrific form off late and has scored heavily in the recently concluded ODI series against England too. The 24-year-old averages more than 50 in ODIs and owing to his strong current form, he will be the best pick from the Pakistan side.
#5 New Zealand - Kane Williamson

New Zealand is one of the dark horses to win the tournament. There hasn't been much buzz about the Kiwis leading to the World Cup but there are some serious cricketers in the New Zealand line-up. Kane Williamson is one of those players.
The Black Caps skipper is a world class player and is capable of scoring big runs. The thing that goes in favour of Williamson is the fact that he plays risk-free cricket and chances of him failing in a match are quite low.
