When Pakistani journalist took a jibe at New Zealand’s defeat, former Kiwi player gave him a befitting reply
After New Zealand’s defeat, Pakistani journalist blamed IPL for it New Zealand Cricket Team (Photo Source: Getty Images) New Zealand has performed very poorly so far in the T20 World Cup 2024. After losing against West Indies, the Kiwi team is on the verge of being eliminated from the tournament. After this defeat of New Zealand, the Pakistani journalist has blamed the IPL for this and has taunted the Kiwi team. Now on this, former New Zealand cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan has given a befitting reply to the Pakistani journalist. Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, the New Zealand team went on a tour of Pakistan. However, many Kiwi players refused to go to Pakistan due to playing in the IPL held in India. This included players like Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Trent Boult, Glenn Phillips. Despite this, New Zealand’s young team gave a tough fight to Pakistan and did not let them win the series. Now since New Zealand’s performance in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 has been very disappointing, a Pakistani journalist has raised questions on Kane Williamson’s team. Mitchell McClenaghan gave a befitting reply to Pakistani journalist The journalist tweeted, This is what happens when you prioritize money over national duty, New Zealand had a great chance to prepare themselves for the World Cup 2024 on the Pakistan tour but their main players chose IPL and now they are out of the World Cup. Former New Zealand cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan has given a befitting reply to the Pakistani journalist. He tweeted in response, very bad statement, Pakistan had lost to our team. After that, we lost to Ireland and USA as well. Very poor take. You lost games to our C side, Ireland and the USA — Mitchell McClenaghan (@Mitch_Savage) June 13, 2024
New Zealand SWOT Analysis: What are New Zealand’s strengths and weaknesses for the T20 World Cup, know everything here
New Zealand Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter X) New Zealand have played 36 T20 matches since the last T20 World Cup and have not made too many changes to the squad from the 2022 edition. With Martin Guptill failing to find a place, the selectors decided to go with Rachin Ravindra. There have been two changes in the Kiwi team this season compared to the 2022 T20 World Cup. Kane Williamson will play his sixth T20 World Cup while Tim Southee is expected to play for the seventh time in the mega event. On the other hand, for Trent Bolt, this will be his fifth World Cup, which is now played every two years. The Kiwi team for this World Cup has a good mix of young players and experienced players, so the team will want to win this T20 World Cup at all costs. In this article today, we will look at New Zealand’s strengths, weaknesses and what can pose a threat to their team. Strength Finn Allen and Devon Conway are set to open the batting for the Blackcaps and with the likes of Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips in the middle order – New Zealand’s batting order looks very strong for this World Cup. Trent Boult can prove to be very lethal with the new ball and Tim Southee can take some wickets in the middle overs along with the two spinners – Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi. Bolt and Southee are not that good in the death overs and there is a risk of scoring a lot of runs against them. While Jimmy Neesham, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips can contribute in bowling if needed. The team does not have any quality spinners. In such a situation, bowling can prove to be a weak link for the Kiwi team. Opportunity New Zealand have not won the T20 World Cup yet and so they would like to win this tournament. West Indies, Afghanistan, Uganda and Papua New Guinea are the other four teams in the group and the Black Caps will try to reach the Super Eight stage without any difficulty. The Kiwi team has always performed better than expected in ICC tournaments. The Kiwi team always surprises everyone by reaching the semi-finals and something similar is expected to happen this season as well. Threat Although New Zealand has always performed above expectations in ICC tournaments, they can no longer be considered the dark horse of the T20 World Cup. Having played the ICC ODI World Cup finals in 2015 and 2019 and the T20 World Cup final in 2021, the Kiwi team is one of the most consistent teams in white ball cricket. However, the Kiwi team fails in knockout matches. In such a situation, they must be fearing the same this season as well.
