T20 World Cup: Kane Williamson 'Not Worried' About New Zealand Not Being Touted As 'Favorites'

By IANS News October 15, 2022 • 14:47 PM View: 1113

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson is unperturbed by his side not being touted as the favourites before every global event, saying that he doesn't have a choice on what people think of them and wants to focus on the cricket ahead of the Men's T20 World Cup.

New Zealand boast of a formidable record at ICC events. They have been runners-up in the last two ICC Men's ODI World Cup finals, finished runners-up in the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup and won the inaugural World Test Championship in England last year. Yet, fans aren't seeing Williamson & Co. as the favourites to win T20 World Cup trophy in Australia.
