PNG vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: Gutted New Zealand will take on Papua New Guinea in match 39 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad. The fixture (PNG vs NZ) will be held on June 17 at 10:30 AM Local Time (8:00 PM IST).
Kane Williamson-led New Zealand crashed out of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 after failing to prove their worth in the first two matches of their Group. They lost against Afghanistan in the first fixture and then got a proper beating against West Indies by 13 runs in Trinidad.
They, however, managed to get a win against Uganda in the third game. Though it was an inconsequential game, somehow the Kiwis got hold of the situation and get a win. They will now look for another win against PNG to draw curtains to their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.
PNG, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing streak. They have lost fixtures to the West Indies, Uganda and Afghanistan respectively in Group C. With nothing to lose for them as well, they would hope to produce an upset against the Kiwis to close the World Cup campaign.

Brian Lara Stadium Pitch Report
So far it’s been challenging for the batters to be at par with the bowlers at this venue. The bowlers have enjoyed a lot of success. The fixtures have turned out to be low-scoring affairs more often than not so far in the tournament at the Brian Lara Stadium. Another low-scoring game is anticipated between New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. The weather remains unfavourable with heavy chances of rain during the match. There is a possibility of a washout as well.
