AFG and WI join teams like India, South Africa, and Australia in the Super 8 of the T20 World Cup 2024. West Indies and Afghanistan both teams are qualified from Group C.
West Indies thrashed New Zealand’s every chance to secure a position in the Super 8 of the T20 World Cup 2024.
WI defeated the Blackcaps by 13 runs in the recent contest, wherein New Zealand won the toss and decided to field first.
Despite a poor opening, West Indies managed to leave a target score of 149 runs. The larger credit goes to Sherfane Rutherford who scored 68* runs off 39 balls at the strike rate of 174.36.
New Zealand’s efficient bowling restricted West Indies’ every single move to score runs. The Kiwi bowler that stood out from the rest was Trent Boult who took 3 with an economy rate of 4.00 in 4 overs.
Southee, Lockie, Neesham, and Santner took 2, 2, 1, and 1 wicket respectively.
West Indies’ bowling was many steps ahead. Alzarri Joseph was the star bowler who took 4 wickets and dismissed Finn Allen, James Neesham, Tim Southee, and Glenn Phillips who could’ve been a problem for WI.
Akeal, Andre, and Gudekesh took 1, 1, and 3 wickets respectively. NZ batsmen couldn’t stand the wrath of Caribbean bowlers and West Indies eventually won the match by 13 runs and entered the Super 8 of the T20 World Cup 2024.
In the recent match against Papua New Guinea, Afghanistan managed to win and enter the Super 8 of the T20 World Cup 2024.

The Player of the Match, Fazalhaq Farooqi took 3 wickets and dismissed Lega Saika, Sese Bau, and Alei Neo. Fazalhaq Farooqi gave only 16 runs to the opposing team and bowled 4 overs with a 4.00 economy rate.
