Conclusion: Can New Zealand Still Qualify or Is It Game Over
The 2024 T20 World Cup saw New Zealand lose unexpectedly to Afghanistan due to poor bowling, a lackluster batting effort, a batting collapse, and injuries to key players. The team’s bowlers failed to restrict teams for low scores despite having a veteran roster, fielding errors proved expensive, and the batting order disintegrated dramatically.
Their success was hampered by injuries and aftermaths to key players like Devon Conway and Kane Williamson. With this defeat, New Zealand’s route to the Super 8 becomes more challenging, highlighting the necessity of quick development in every area of their play to maintain their chances of making the World Cup.
