Can New Zealand still qualify for Super 8 in T20 World Cup 2024?: After this defeat, the journey to Super 8 is almost over for New Zealand. If the Kiwi team has to reach Super 8, then first they have to win both their matches and then have to depend on the results of the other teams.

New Zealand has to face Uganda on June 14 and Papua New Guinea on June 17. Even victory in these two matches will not be enough for the Kiwi team. In fact, West Indies has six points with three wins in three matches. On the other hand, Afghanistan has won two out of two so far. It has four points. Afghanistan has to face Papua New Guinea on June 14. Afghanistan's team will qualify if it wins this match or if the match is washed out due to rain.
