Head-to-Head Record New Zealand vs Papua New Guinea
New Zealand and Papua New Guinea are facing each other for the first time in international cricket.
New Zealand
New Zealand have been badly hurt by losses at the hands of Afghanistan and the West Indies. It was always a given that they would do well against Uganda and PNG but the first two losses have already knocked them out of the tournament. Nevertheless, Kane Williamson and his men will be eager to add two more points to their name before leaving the Caribbean shores.
Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea haven’t won a single game in three outings so far. But they have put up an admirable fight in all of them. They are coming off a loss at the hands of Afghanistan but kept them on the tenterhook defending a sub-100 total. They will have to be at their best though against New Zealand who are also eyeing to bow out of the tournament on a high.
