The Kane Williamson led New Zealand side equaled South Africa’s two-decade-old record of going unchanged for 6 consecutive matches in a World Cup when they faced Pakistan in Birmingham on June 27. Late Hansie Cronje held the previous record led South African side in the 1999 ICC World Cup. However, New Zealand didn’t have an enjoyable outing against Pakistan as they suffered a surprising 6-wicket defeat.
