New Zealand vs Uganda, 32nd Match: New Zealand cricket team defeated Uganda badly by 9 wickets in the 32nd match of T20 World Cup 2024. Batting first, Uganda's team was bowled out for just 40 runs in 18.4 overs. This is the second lowest score in T20 World Cup history. In reply, New Zealand achieved this target in 5.2 overs by losing only one wicket. This is the third biggest win in T20 World Cup in terms of balls remaining. However, this match has no meaning. Both Uganda and New Zealand teams are out. The Kiwi team is also out in the first round itself.
Uganda set the record for the lowest score in the powerplay
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and decided to bowl, which proved to be absolutely correct. Uganda, who came to bat first, could not face the Kiwi bowlers at all. Three batsmen of the team were out without opening their account and 3 wickets fell for just 2 runs. After this, half the team returned to the pavilion for 15 runs. No batsman of Uganda was able to stand in front of New Zealand's dangerous bowling. Due to this, the entire team could score only 40 runs. Uganda scored only 9 runs in the powerplay, which is the lowest score in the powerplay in T20 World Cup history.
Trent Boult and Tim Southee bowled brilliantly
Trent Bolt bowled very well for the Kiwi team. He took 2 wickets for just 7 runs in his 4 over spell with one maiden over. Apart from this, Rachin Ravindra also took 2 wickets for just 9 runs in his 3 over spell with one maiden over. Tim Southee's bowling was also very good and the Ugandan team could not compete at all.
New Zealand is out of T20 World Cup
The Kiwi team did not face any problem in chasing the target. The opening pair of Devon Conway and Finn Allen gave them an easy win. The journey of the New Zealand team in the T20 World Cup 2024 has ended. The Kiwi team had to face defeat in their first two matches and with this their dream of winning the T20 World Cup was also shattered.
