New Zealand may be out of T20 World Cup 2024
New Zealand’s defeat to West Indies in the match played in Trinidad could be the end of the T20 World Cup for the Kiwi team. New Zealand is at the bottom after losing the second consecutive match against Afghanistan and West Indies. The Williamson-led team still has two matches left against Papua New Guinea and Uganda. If the team has to reach the Super 8, then it has to win both these matches. But if Afghanistan defeats Papua New Guinea in the match to be held on June 14, then the New Zealand team will be officially out of the World Cup.
If we look at the points table of Group C from the perspective of qualification for the Super 8 round, West Indies has reached the Super 8 by winning three matches. At the same time, one of the teams from Afghanistan, Uganda, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand will reach the Super 8 from this group. At present, Afghanistan is more likely to reach the Super 8, because the team has one match against Papua New Guinea, which has already lost two matches. Apart from this, the team also has to play a match against West Indies. While the net run rate of Uganda, PNG and New Zealand is very poor. In such a situation, even if the Afghanistan team loses both its matches by a close margin, it can easily go to the Super 8.
