Two-time West Indies will look to seal Super 8 spot when they host New Zealand in match 26 of T20 World Cup 2024 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Trinidad & Tobago on Thursday (June 13).

Rovman Powell-led West Indies will look to carry their winning momentum following a 134-run win over Uganda, while Kane Williamson’s New Zealand will look to rebound quickly after losing their opening game against Afghanistan by 84 runs.

Both New Zealand and West Indies were expected to progress from Group C, but Afghanistan now seem favourite to seal a spot after condemning the Kiwis to 75 all out in the defence of 159.

West Indies, on the other hand, opened their campaign with a 5-wicket win over Papua New Guinea before registering a massive win over Uganda by defending a total of 173.

This will be New Zealand and West Indies ninth appearance in the show-piece tournament since it’s inception in 2007. While West Indies has won the title twice, New Zealand has finished runners up as best one time in 2021.

The two heavyweight sides and pre-tournament favourites will clash for the 20th time in T20 format and for the first time in the Tarouba venue. Here is a look at the head to head numbers of WI vs NZ:
