New Zealand have been a force to be reckoned with across formats of late and drawn plaudits for their performance at pretty much every ICC event for the past decade. ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup runners up in 2019 and 2015, and semi-finalists at the last ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, New Zealand ended a 21-year-wait for silverware at a men’s ICC event with victory over India at the World Test Championship Final. Pakistan, who are high on confidence after their historic win against India, are their opponents in the T20 World Cup campaign opener for the Blackcaps.
