Afghanistan triumphed over Papua New Guinea by seven wickets in Match 29 of the T20 World Cup 2024, effectively eliminating New Zealand from the tournament.
Opting to bowl first, Afghanistan dominated PNG, restricting them to a mere 95 runs in 19.5 overs. In response, Afghanistan chased down the target effortlessly in just 15.1 overs.
With this victory, Afghanistan advanced to the Super 8 stages of the World Cup, concurrently ousting New Zealand.
The Kane Williamson-led squad had a catastrophic start, losing their opener to Afghanistan by a staggering 84 runs. Subsequent defeats, including a narrow 13-run loss to the West Indies, left them teetering on the brink of elimination.
Currently languishing at the bottom of Group C with a net run rate of -2.425 and being out of the running to win the T20 World Cup, the Kiwis, semi-finalists of the previous edition, now aim to conclude their campaign on a positive note with wins against Uganda and PNG in their remaining fixtures.
