The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 match between New Zealand and Papua New Guinea is set for Monday, June 17, in Trinidad. Both teams have already been eliminated from the tournament.

New Zealand, known as the Black Caps, faced defeats against Afghanistan and the West Indies. Captain Kane Williamson has struggled with his form, and the team has encountered significant challenges against both opponents.

This tournament has been particularly disappointing for New Zealand, marking the first time they have been knocked out in the group stage, a departure from their usual consistency.

PNG, on the other hand, have not managed to secure a single victory in this edition. They showed some competitiveness against the West Indies but were completely outplayed by Afghanistan and Uganda.

Although both teams are out of the running for the championship, this match holds importance as they play for pride. Let's take a look at the ground stats for the venue.

Brian Lara Stadium has hosted seven T20I matches. Of these, four were won by the team batting first, while three were won by the team chasing. 

The highest score at this venue is 267/3, set by England, while the lowest is 40, scored by Uganda. For the Kiwis, a strong bowling performance could make a safe first-innings total crucial, or they might aim to bowl PNG out cheaply to secure a swift chase, much like they did against Uganda.
