New Zealand beat Papua New Guinea by seven wickets and they sign off from T20 World Cup 2024 with a win! They have missed out on the Super Eight stage and needed to finish on a high. The star of this win has been the bowlers, with Lockie Ferguson leading the effort with figures of 3/0 in four overs. Trent Boult signed off from T20 World Cups with New Zealand winning the match. Papua New Guinea on the other hand, finish with losses in all four matches.
OUT! Kamea Morea is into the wickets and he has trapped Devon Conway lbw. The left-hander was struck right in front of the stumps and a review showed three reds. Conway walks back. Devon Conway lbw b Semo Kamea 35(32)
OUT! New Zealand lose one more wicket and it is Rachin Ravindra, who has to depart with Kabua Morea the man to strike again! Ravindra wanted to go for a big shot and clear the leg-side fence but ended up hitting in the air and the fielder did well to hang on to a safe catch. Rachin Ravindra c Semo Kamea b Kabua Morea 6(11)
OUT! Papua New Guinea have an early wicket and it is Finn Allen, whose poor form continues as he edges behind to Kipin Doriga. The ball caught the under edge and Doriga did well to have his hands underneath the ball as he took the catch. The catch was referred to the third umpire and Allen had to walk back. Finn Allen c Kiplin Doriga b Kabua Morea 0(2)
OUT! Alei Nao wants to go big but finds the fielder and PNG have been bowled out for just 78 runs! What a bowling performance it has been from New Zealand with Lockie Ferguson the standout performer, finishing with three wickets in his four overs, all of which were maidens. New Zealand will look to chase this down and finish on a high! Alei Nao c Daryl Mitchell b Ish Sodhi 3(7)
OUT! Trent Boult has a wicket in his last over as he dismisses Norman Vanua. New Zealand close to restricting PNG to well below 100 runs. Norman Vanua c Daryl Mitchell b Trent Boult 14(13)
OUT! Tim Southee has struck and Kipin Doriga is the man to depart! The batter was done for pace and the leg-stump was uprooted. PNG continue to slide further into trouble and New Zealand will look to get them all out as soon as possible. Kiplin Doriga b Tim Southee 5(7)
OUT! Trent Boult has castled Hiri Hiri and there could not have been a better response. Hiri had come down the track and smashed him for a four just the ball before but he was outdone on this occasion with the ball crashing into the leg-stump! Hiri Hiri b Trent Boult 7(11)
OUT! Lockie Ferguson has taken his third wicket and he has not conceded a single run so far. He got the ball to angle to the right-handed Soper and it crashed into the stumps off an inside edge. Chad Soper b Lockie Ferguson 1(6)
OUT! Another wicket falls for Papua New Guinea, with Sese Bau the man to depart. Bau danced down the track in a bid to break the shackles but could not get the distance and was caught by Finn Allen in the deep. Sese Bau c Finn Allen b Santner 12(27)
New Zealand National Cricket Team vs Papua New Guinea National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: New Zealand would aim to end their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on a high when they take on Papua New Guinea in their last Group C match on Monday, June 17. The Kane Williamson-led side were tipped by many as one of the contenders for the title but they fell way short of their expectations, managing just one win in three matches so far. Losses to Afghanistan and West Indies signalled Black Caps' group-stage exit from ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and this edition will be the first time since 2014 that they won't be part of the semifinals. The Kiwis have a number of quality players in their ranks and they will hope to sign off with a win. This match is also Trent Boult's last in T20 World Cup.

Papua New Guinea on the other hand, would also aim at a similar finish to their campaign after losing all their matches so far. Assad Vala and his men put up a good fight against the West Indies in their first match but have not been able to emulate that kind of a performance in their next two matches. Competing against a quality side like New Zealand will surely boost their confidence and help them gain a lot of experience. New Zealand start as favourites to win but nothing can be predicted in cricket unless the final ball is bowled.
