Kane Williamson walking to the pavilion after being dismissed during the match against West Indies
In the T20 World Cup 2024, the West Indies team under the captaincy of Rovman Powell is consistently performing well in Group C. In the match against New Zealand, the Windies team has confirmed its place in the Super 8 with a win by 13 runs. At the same time, after this defeat, it has become almost impossible for the Kiwi team to make it to the next round. In this match, New Zealand decided to bowl first after winning the toss, in which at one time they sent half of the West Indies team to the pavilion within a score of just 30 runs, but after this, on the basis of Sherfane Rutherford’s innings of 68 runs, the Windies team scored 149 runs in 20 overs. While chasing this target, the New Zealand team was able to reach a score of only 136 runs. Alzari Joseph took a total of 4 wickets in bowling for the West Indies.

In this match, the New Zealand team, which came out to chase the target of 150 runs, also had a very bad start in which they lost their first wicket in the form of Devon Conway at a score of 20, after which the team got the second blow in the form of Finn Allen at a score of 34. The Kiwi team was able to reach a score of 36 runs in the first 6 overs. New Zealand team captain Kane Williamson also could not do anything special with the bat and was able to score only 1 run. The New Zealand team had lost half of its team by the score of 63. Glenn Phillips tried to handle the innings from one end and tried to take the team towards victory, in which an innings of 40 runs in 33 balls was seen from his bat. However, he could not succeed in getting his team to victory. Alzari Joseph showed amazing bowling for the West Indies and took 4 wickets while giving 19 runs in his 4 overs. Apart from this, Gudakesh Moti also took 3 wickets.
New Zealand’s journey is almost certain to end in the group stage
This is the second consecutive defeat of the New Zealand team in this T20 World Cup in which they had to face defeat from the Afghanistan team in their first match. Now it has become very difficult for the Kiwi team to make it to the Super 8. If we look at the points table of Group C, the West Indies team has reached the Super 8 with 6 points, while the Afghanistan team is in second place with 4 points in which it still has to play 2 more matches, one of which is with Papua New Guinea and the other with the West Indies and if the Afghan team wins even one of these matches, then it will also make its place in the Super 8.
