The Afghanistan team has created history. Afghanistan has defeated New Zealand in the 14th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Afghanistan has won this match one-sidedly. The Kiwi team's batting completely collapsed against Afghanistan. The Kiwi team lost this match by 84 runs. Seeing this form of Afghanistan, the tension of all the teams has increased. And if seen, the danger has increased for the New Zealand team. So let's know whether New Zealand can qualify for the Super 8 from Group C, as it has lost to AFG by 84 runs
Can NZ still qualify for Super 8?: The first week of T20 World Cup 2024 was full of excitement. Fans got to see one match after another during this period. Many small teams surprised everyone with their performance, while some big teams had to be disappointed. One of the teams is New Zealand.
Afghanistan has almost confirmed its place in the Super-8 by winning two consecutive matches in Group C. However, New Zealand did not have a good start and they had to face defeat in the very first match against Afghanistan. Now if the Kiwi team loses to West Indies as well, then the trouble may increase for them.
T20 World Cup 2024 Super-8 Qualification Scenario: If New Zealand has to make it to the Super-8, then it will have to win all three of its remaining matches. This will enable the team to have 6 points and qualify for the next stage. The other option is that if it loses even once, then it will have to depend on the results of other teams. If New Zealand wins 2 matches, then it will have to pray for Afghanistan or West Indies to lose 2 matches. Even after this, only if the run rate remains better than the other teams, will NZ enter the Super-8.
