T20 World Cup 2024: New Zealand vs Uganda – Match Prediction

New Zealand will lock horns against Uganda in the 32nd match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad on Friday. Surprisingly, the Kiwis haven’t been able to bring their best in the ongoing T20I showpiece and they are on the verge of elimination.

The Blackcaps have a poor Net Run Rate of -2.425 and will need to win big against Uganda to keep their slimmest hopes alive. The Kane Williamson-led team will also need other results to go in their favor as they will want Afghanistan to lose their last two matches.

New Zealand suffered a gargantuan loss of 84 runs against Afghanistan and they were also beaten by West Indies in the last game by 13 runs. The Kiwis had the Caribbean Nation under the cosh at 76-7 but they let them off the hook as Sherfane Rutherford scored a match-winning knock of 68 runs off 39 balls.

Furthermore, their top-order came up with a mundane performance as they found themselves at 85-6. 

On the other hand, Uganda suffered a huge hammering of 134 runs against the West Indies as they were bundled out for a paltry score of 39 runs. Thus, the Cricket Cranes need to come up with a better batting show.

Match Prediction: New Zealand will definitely enter the contest as favorites against Uganda.

New Zealand: Kane Williamson (c), Finn Allen, Trent Boult, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee. 

Uganda: Brian Masaba (c), Simon Ssesazi, Roger Mukasa, Cosmas Kyewuta, Dinesh Nakrani, Fred Achelam, Kenneth Waiswa, Alpesh Ramjani, Frank Nsubuga, Henry Ssenyondo, Bilal Hassun, Robinson Obuya, Riazat Ali Shah, Juma Miyaji, Ronak Patel.
