| New Zealand Cricket Team |
No team will be more distressed to win the ICC Cricket World Cup title than New Zealand, who regardless of getting the semi-finals of the 1975, 1979, 1992, 1999 and the 2007 match, have not at all won the game. The last World Cup saw Sri Lanka batter the Kiwis by 81 runs in the semis and Daniel Vettori’s men will be hopeful to lift the blight with a game win in 2011.
