On Monday, June 17, New Zealand (NZ) will play Papua New Guinea (PNG) in a useless 2024 T20 World Cup game at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad.
In their latest effort, New Zealand triumphed over Uganda on their way to ensuring they got off to a winning start in this year’s competition after going down against Afghanistan and the West Indies, thus ruining any chance they had at making it that far in the super eight rounds.
But for the Black Caps’ uplifting campaign against Uganda, it was just another win in disguise. For the Blackcaps, the victory over Uganda was merely a fillip. On Monday, Kane Williamson’s team would like to end their journey with a victory, as they have already been eliminated.
In the meantime, Papua New Guinea was unable to capitalize on their encouraging performance against the West Indies, forcing the reigning champions to work hard to get the two points. Assad Vala’s team was eliminated from the competition after losing their next two matches against Afghanistan and Uganda. They would face a formidable New Zealand team and have their work cut out for them.
