TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Preview
fter Afghanistan's win against Papua New Guinea, New Zealand have been eliminated from the 2024 T20 World Cup. The Kiwis have only themselves to blame, as they suffered two straight defeats in the first round. They had lost their first game to Afghanistan by 84 runs and followed it with a tame 13-run surrender to the West Indies.
The loss to the West Indies will hurt them more because they once had the hosts reeling at 76-7 and allowed them to post 149-9. Then, in the chase, the Kiwis showed a surprising lack of intent and never really looked to be in the chase at all.
The batting lineup has really let them down. The likes of Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, and Daryl Mitchell have simply not clicked at all. All of them are high-quality performers, and we do expect at least Williamson and Mitchell to show up in the remaining games.
On the positive side, Glenn Phillips has shown the gumption to fight. His 40 off 33 balls in the match against the West Indies was the only bright spark in an otherwise tame chase. Finn Allen (26 off 23 balls) also showed signs of form, and against this bowling attack, the aggressive opener can really unleash his powerful strokes.
The Kiwi bowlers have done a better job, with Trent Boult leading the way. The left-arm pacer has already taken 5 wickets in 2 innings at an economy of 4.75.
Lockie Ferguson’s pace and movement can also be too much to handle for Uganda’s inexperienced batters. We expect him and left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner to be among the wickets in this game during the middle overs.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:
Finn Allen, Devon Conway (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

Uganda Preview
Uganda come into this match after suffering a heavy 134-run defeat against the West Indies. Their World Cup journey has been topsy-turvy so far – an emphatic 3-wiicket win against Papua New Guinea sandwiched between two massive losses against Australia and the host country, respectively.
While they will certainly be the underdogs in this fixture, Uganda will still believe they can give the Kiwis a run for their money.
For that to happen, however, their batters will need to step up. So far, no batter in the lineup has even crossed 50 runs in the tournament. Riazat Ali Shah tops the batting charts with 47 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of just 48.
Juma Miyagi is second on the list with 26 runs in 2 innings at a strike rate of 72.
The team will be desperately looking for some runs from their openers, Roger Mukasa (269 runs from the last 10 matches at a strike rate of 116.45) and Simon Ssesazi (235 runs from the last 10 matches at 157).
Captain Brian Masaba leads the bowling attack with 5 wickets in the tournament at a superb economy of just 5.75. His role in the middle overs will be crucial, as he can deliver a couple of quiet overs.
Cosmas Kyewuta and Alpesh Ramjani have done a really good job with the new ball and will be looking to put early pressure on New Zealand.
Uganda Predicted Playing XI:
Roger Mukasa, Simon Ssesazi (wk), Robinson Obuya, Riazat Ali Shah, Alpesh Ramjani, Dinesh Nakrani, Juma Miyagi, Kenneth Waiswa, Brian Masaba (c), Cosmas Kyewuta, Frank Nsubuga

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad is known for its sluggish nature and poses a challenge for batters in accumulating big totals. This characteristically slow pitch favors bowlers slower bowlers, and hence the performances of Mitchell Santner and Brian Masaba could be game-changing ones for their teams. However, batters who exhibit patience and maintain focus at the crease can capitalize on the slower pace and construct substantial scores.
A thunderstorm in spots in the morning is expected in Trinidad on the day of the game. However, most of the day is likely to be cloudy, so we should get a full game.

Winning Prediction
This will be the first international game between New Zealand and Uganda. While we have had some upsets in this T20 World Cup, the Kiwis are too strong a team to go down to an inexperienced side like Uganda. They haven’t had the best of times in the tournament, but they are strong enough to brush Uganda aside. In fact, we expect them to come all guns blazing, as they will be looking for a massive win to end their tournament on a positive note. Uganda will be hoping to punch above their weight and run New Zealand close, but we fully expect the Kiwis to register a thumping win.
Our prediction favors a clear and big win for New Zealand in this contest.
