New Zealand and Uganda will be facing each other in the 32nd game of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The game is scheduled to take place on Saturday (June 15) at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad.
Both the teams are already eliminated from the tournament and will be looking to bow out on a high. New Zealand were one of the strong contenders for the T20 World Cup but they could not really manage to come up with the performances that has made them one of the most consistent teams in the ICC competitions in the last one decade or so.
For the first time since 2014, New Zealand have failed to make it to the semifinals of the T20 World Cup. They began their campaign with a shock loss against Afghanistan before losing against West Indies. With both Afghanistan and West Indies winning their first three games, New Zealand were knocked out of the tournament. The Black Caps have only pride to play for and will be looking to bow out on a positive note.
As far as Uganda are concerned, the ongoing tournament is a historic one for them as they are playing in the competition for the first time in their history. While they suffered heavy losses against Afghanistan and West Indies, they also defeated Papua New Guinea to register a memorable win. While an upset is highly unlikely against New Zealand, Uganda will be looking to come up with a solid performance.

NZ vs UGA Dream11 Prediction Today:
Captaincy picks:
Trent Boult:
One of the best pacers in the world, Trent Boult can cause a lot of troubles for the Uganda batters especially the top-order batters. The left-arm pacer can trouble the best in the business with the new ball and will be looking to end his campaign on a good note. In the previous game against West Indies, he looked in fine form with the ball as he picked up 3 wickets for 16 runs.
Alpesh Ramjani:
Uganda will be relying on their left-arm spinner Alpesh Ramjani for the wickets. Ramajni has done well so far, taking 4 wickets from 3 games. In the previous game against West Indies when most of his teammates were taken to the cleaners, he bowled a brilliant spell while opening the bowling. He picked up 1 wicket while conceding only 16 runs in three overs.
Top picks:
Brian Masaba:
Brian Masaba impressed with the ball in the last game against West Indies. He picked up 2 wickets for 31 runs in his 4 overs and will be looking to impress against New Zealand as well.
Tim Southee:
The upcoming game could be Tim Southee’s last T20 World Cup game and the veteran pacer would be looking to bow out on a high. He picked up 2 wickets for 21 runs in the previous game against West Indies.
