TAUNTON, England (Reuters) - New Zealand coach Gary Stead denied his batsmen are vulnerable to spin bowling and said the 2015 finalists are ready for a slow-bowling onslaught in Saturday's World Cup match against Afghanistan.

New Zealand lost each of their top six batsmen to a spinner in Thursday's win against Bangladesh before pulling off a tight chase for their second victory of the tournament.
