On June 15, 2024, at the Brian Lara Stadium, New Zealand and Uganda will square off in T20 World Cup 2024.
Despite having one more game after their match against Uganda, the door to the Super Eight is now blocked for the Kane Williamson-led team due to Afghanistan’s recent seven-wicket victory over Papua New Guinea and New Zealand’s back-to-back losses to both Afghanistan and the West Indies. They would be keen to end the impasse and achieve their first campaign victory.
Uganda’s thrilling tight victory over PNG by three wickets was followed by two crushing losses to Afghanistan and the West Indies, where the T20 World Cup rookies were dismissed for 58 and 39, respectively. Although the New Zealand match wouldn’t matter to them, they would still want to improve as a batting side and could decide to go ahead and bat first if they win the toss, considering that they have been the ones to chase in the last three games.
It is anticipated that the pitch at Tarouba, which has hosted three matches in a row, will behave slowly and favour spinners over pacers. The strong grip on the surface makes hitting difficult, especially in the second innings, and requires skillful management from the batters.
