Cricket's all about stats right. Statistically speaking Guptill is due for a massive one. I predict he'll get 112 of 78 balls in the final. 😉
He is NZ;'s 4th best batsman ever, he averages 42 and use to be 44 until this recent drought, he has the highest score in a world cup and the 2nd highest all time score of 237no. He was the highest run scorer in the 2015 world cup.
Lets not forget if he and Munro had not gotten Sri Lanks score in 16 overs in the first game, our NRR would have been below Pak and we would not hae qualified.
Hes one ton away from form. I remember Taylors bad period of 2 years where he started getting whispers of drop, sacrilege lol, insane at the least. Cricketers do have bad periods, thas why its a team and a deep batting team in modern white ball.
