Kane Williamson – 8/10

4 matches, 256 runs at 85.33, SR: 93.43, HS: 95

A tournament marred by injury for New Zealand’s captain. Not fit enough to make the starting XI for the opening game of the tournament as he continued to recover from his ACL injury, in his first game back against Bangladesh, he picked up a thumb injury which kept him out until their penultimate group game against Pakistan. Nevertheless, when he did play he was typically excellent, only failing to pass 50 in one of his innings.

Daryl Mitchell – 9/10

10 matches, 552 runs at 69.00, SR: 111.06, HS: 134

Two big centuries for Mitchell – both coming against losing causes against India. It’s no mean feat that he was able to conquer the best bowling attack in the competition, and an 89* against Bangladesh as well as a half-century against Australia show his consistency. He now has a remarkable five centuries in ODI cricket this year.

Rachin Ravindra – 9/10

10 matches, 578 runs at 64.22, SR: 106.44, HS: 123*
5 wickets at 78.60, ER: 5.98, BBI: 2-21

By far and away the stand-out young star of the tournament. His century against England catapulted him into the spotlight, and a follow-up ton in an epic match against Australia almost got his side over the line. Another hundred against Pakistan sealed his place as a new up and coming player to keep an eye on. Although with the ball he was less effective, he allowed New Zealand to field a wicket-taking option who bats in their top order.

Devon Conway – 6/10

10 matches, 372 runs at 41.33, SR: 101.63, HS: 152*

Aside from his unbeaten 152 in the opening match of the tournament against England, it was an uncharacteristically quiet run for Conway. He didn’t pass 50 again in the tournament and was out in the powerplay five times.

Glenn Phillips – 7/10

10 matches, 285 runs at 40.71, SR: 111.76, HS: 71
6 wickets at 38.83, ER: 5.82, BBI: 3-37

Phillips played some important middle-order knocks throughout the tournament. The most notable of these came against Afghanistan, where he put together a 144-run partnership with Mitchell to get New Zealand to a competitive total. He also top scored in a dire collapse against South Africa, and took three wickets against Australia.

Will Young – 4/10

6 matches, 206 runs at 34.33, SR: 83.73, HS: 70

Young made half-centuries against the Netherlands and Afghanistan but, with Ravindra’s emergence, couldn’t keep his place in the side when Williamson was fit.

Tom Latham – 5/10

10 matches, 155 runs at 25.83, SR: 91.17, HS: 68

Latham’s performances were well below what New Zealand have come to expect of him in ODIs. After a stellar 2022, he’s faltered slightly over the last 11 months and couldn’t build up any consistency in the tournament. He made a promising start with two 50s in his first two innings, before dropping off the radar. In his defence, such was the success of New Zealand’s top order that there were multiple occasions where he wasn’t required to bat or came in with only a couple of balls left in the innings. His final innings of the tournament was a duck against India.

Mark Chapman – 3/10

8 matches, 84 runs at 16.80, SR: 118.30, HS: 39

Chapman was barely required to bat early in the tournament, and failed to get past good starts in the latter stages. His best was a score of 39 in a total of over 400 against Pakistan.

Mitchell Santner – 7/10

10 matches, 16 wickets at 28.06, ER: 4.84, BBI: 5-59
103 runs at 25.75, SR: 127.16, HS: 36*

One of the star off-spinners of the tournament, Santner’s five-for against the Netherlands set the tone early for his importance to New Zealand’s attack. Regular wickets in his next few innings were also vital in the side’s opening successful run. However, his tournament tailed off just as New Zealand’s as a whole did, with three wicketless games in his last four.

Matt Henry – 6/10

7 matches, 11 wickets at 28.63, ER: 5.79, BBI: 3-40

Aside from the injury to Williamson, Henry returning home was the biggest blow to New Zealand’s campaign. Henry took 11 wickets in his seven matches, and took back-to-back three wicket hauls in New Zealand’s opening two games. While he was more expensive in the latter stages, he was arguably their best seam bowler in the competition.

Lockie Ferguson – 5/10

7 matches, 10 wickets at 30.10, ER: 5.57, BBI: 3-19

Ferguson’s tournament was also marred by injury. His best performance with the ball came against Bangladesh, where he bowled a ferocious short pitch spell to rip through the middle order. He also took 3-19 against Afghanistan, but struggled more against the top tier sides in the league.

Trent Boult – 6/10

10 matches, 14 wickets at 36.00, ER: 5.53, BBI: 3-37

Boult finishes the tournament as leading wicket-taker among New Zealand’s seamers. While he was perhaps short of the blistering heights expected of him in ODI cricket, he was effective nonetheless. The only two matches in which he went wicketless were in the rain-affected Pakistan game and against Afghanistan. Consistency if not all out destruction from the talisman.

Tim Southee – 3/10

4 matches, 7 wickets at 36.57, ER: 7.75, BBI: 3-100

Southee finished the tournament with a three figure spell against India at the Wankhede. He was on the receiving end of the India batter’s aggression as they racked up nearly 400, but managed to take three of New Zealand’s four wickets. He was also expensive against South Africa, and only came into the side when one of Ferguson or Henry were injured.

Jimmy Neesham – 4/10

3 matches, 2 wickets at 78.50, ER: 10.82, BBI: 1-32
58 runs at 29.00, SR: 123.40, HS: 58

Neesham’s most memorable contribution to New Zealand’s campaign was his half-century against Australia. Once against he got his side close to pulling off an unlikely victory, but couldn’t quite get them over the line. With the ball, he was expensive and lacked the penetration of the first-string seamers.

Ish Sodhi – 2/10

1 match, 0 wickets, ER: 11.00

There’s not much to go off for Sodhi, but one match at which he went at 11s in a New Zealand loss isn’t a ringing endorsement.
