The 26th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 will take place between West Indies and New Zealand. The game will be played at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad, marking the first game at this venue in the ongoing edition of the 20-team event.
With wins in both their first two games, West Indies are on a verge to book their spot in the Super 8 stage. New Zealand, on the other hand, are in desperate need of a win to revive their campaign following a devastating defeat against Afghanistan.
T20 World Cup 2024: WI vs NZ:

Venue: Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad
Brian Lara Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Brian Lara Stadium generally favors a slower pace. Initially, batsmen find it relatively easy to time their shots, but as the match progresses, the conditions become more demanding. In the later stages, the surface may assist spinners, particularly in the second innings. Captains winning the toss might opt to bat first to set a competitive target. Consequently, spectators can anticipate a thrilling and potentially high-scoring contest at this venue.
