The World Cup being held in less than five months, the competitions of the 50 at the end have taken on a more important meaning in its context. The teams have tried various combinations in the last remaining games to focus on their best XI in preparation for the World Cup. England has been the torchbearer of the new wave of ODI cricket and its fortune in the format has turned a corner. Four years of play. After missing a quarter-final place in the previous tournament in Australia and New Zealand, they are currently the favorites to win the title.

India and New Zealand are two teams that could give England a chance to make money in the World Cup. India and New Zealand have the best success rate behind England, among the ODIs played since January 2017. And the five-game ODI series between the two beginners later this week promises to be a contest that puts mouth watering. The conditions in New Zealand are very close to those of England – small boundaries and flat lands – would give us a fair indication of the position of both teams as to their chances of winning the World Cup.

India and New Zealand have striking similarities. Both teams have different bowling teams and are led by two pillars of the batting generation – Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson respectively. The inferior and unstable fragile order is a gray area that both parties will seek to resolve by the end of the series.

However, the greatest parallel between the teams is that they rely on the "Big Three" top drummers Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli rank among the top three of not only this generation , but also the history of limited cricket. Kohli is arguably the biggest format drummer and Rohit's consistency over the last four years also places him in the elite clbad. Dhawan has an enviable track record in multinational tournaments and he forges a powerful force at the top of the rule with Rohit.

New Zealand, for its part, is still looking for ways to fill the gaping void of the summit. The order after Brendon McCullum has hung up in 2016. Like Rohit, Martin Guptill has become one of the most consistent drummers of recent times, with a similar bias for big scores. With Kohli, Williamson represents a quarter of the modern foursome-four quartet. He has also taken over McCullum's management duties from fish to water, and New Zealand has so far flourished under his leadership. Since the beginning of his career at the crossroads after a crash with coach Mike Hesson, Ross Taylor has become a 50-year-old running machine with incredible consistency. His figures over the last four years have been negated by Kohli's exploits. He is just 294 points away from Stephen Fleming's fall to New Zealand's top scorer list in the IDO race.

The Dominion of the Big Three

After Ajinkya Rahane and Suresh Raina went astray in the scheme of the ODI and Combined with MS Dhoni The number of diminishing returns with the bat is the "Big Three" of Kohli, Rohit and Dhawan who carried the formation of Indian batters on their shoulders. The trio scored 52.06% of total accumulated runs by India in the run-up to the 2015 World Cup and accounted for 39 of 48 three-digit scores during the period.

The triumvirate was presented together. in 42 games and the combined percentage of points scored by the three players in these matches goes from 52.06% to 65.46% – almost two-thirds of the total number of points obtained by India. India scored 31 cents in those 42 matches, 29 of which came from the illustrious top three with a century each of Manish Pandey and Ambati Rayudu – 30 months apart – to top it all off.

The story is not entirely different for the New Zealand . The Guptill-Williamson-Taylor trio has accumulated 46.36% of New Zealand's total points since April 2015, including 20 of 26 three-digit scores. In the 34 matches, the trio presented together, the proportion of races contributed to additional reinforcements to 56.82%. Outside the trio, Tom Latham is relatively well done for New Zealand, scoring 1701 points at 37.80 against four hundred, often opening the baton and sometimes taking the number 5.

Establishing partnerships ]

The fact that trios on both sides face each other in front of the other would mean that they often have to bundle partnerships. Since April 2015, through 66 partnerships, the Guptill-Williamson-Taylor trio has averaged 58.97 points of view with 12-century stands and 17 partnerships of more than 50. Taylor and Williamson complement each other well and form an average pair of 65.83 on 24 stands. They are also the best New Zealand duo in their ODI cricket history.

The Indian trio scored slightly better at 62.97 over the same period – after beating 97 times together. Kohli's average partnership with Rohit is 91.35 in 25 innings, which includes four huge stands over 200, while with Dhawan, he's 78.81 in two less runs. Kohli-Rohit and Kohli-Dhawan occupy the first two places among the pairs with more than 500 laps since April 2015.

Contribution in Victories

Having already stated the dominance of the "Big Three" in the respective line-ups fights, it goes without saying how successful the trio is. In 34 games, the New Zealand trio played a total of 67.06 victories and a loss of 38.19. Taylor averages half the losses (42.85) against wins (84.47), while the Guptill average is from 24.00 to 68.19. New Zealand has only lost two home series since April 2015 – two to three margins against South Africa in 2017 and England in 2018. In the six games lost in both series, five of them saw at least one of the Guptill- A trio missing from Williamson-Taylor, highlighting the importance of the three for the team.

In comparison, the Indian trio performed well with an average loss of 53.33, a win of 74.53. In 24 wins during this period, Kohli averaged Bradmansque 105.94 with eight hundred and Rohit's average at 81.53 with as many as hundreds. The duo was also effective in the defeat with 63.29 on average and 53.00 on average, with eight three-digit scores. The fact that India has lost a good number of matches despite the fact that they score well must be blamed on the inept order of the lower average level, which has often failed to absorb the pressure of the rate request.

Coherence

In the 42 games, the Rohit-Dhawan-Kohli trio played together, one of the top three scorers in 36 of those games (85.71%) and India ended up winning 21, including one ending in a tie. In the other six games where someone outside the "Big Three" has achieved the highest score, India has found itself losing in three of them. The common failure effect of the top three is even more radical in roulette races where India has not made more than 250 since April 2015 without a significant contribution from Rohit , Dhawan or Kohli. The final of the 2017 Champions Trophy against Pakistan was one of the cases where all the top three were excluded from the first Powerplay in a race race and the rest of the batting composition collapsed. under the pressure of the display board.

The New Zealand trio is worried, he scored best in 25 of the 34 ODIs in which he figured and was the winner in 15 out of 25. 17 of those 25 cases came in first place and New Zealand won 10 of those who did not do it in three of the four ODIs when someone else scored the first goal.

The next series will throw a further challenge to the "Big Threes" and if they fail, it represents an opportunity for the rest of the group. To prove that the cricket world is at stake, they can improve their game if needed.
