West Indies vs New Zealand, Match 26, ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Records: The hosts, West Indies, have shown a great game in their group and became the first team to qualify for the Super 8 in Group C. They faced the New Zealand cricket team in match no. 26 on Wednesday at Brian Lara Stadium, which was a nail-biting clash, and West Indies cricket team won it by 13 runs to qualify for the next round. The Trinidad cricket match result has pushed New Zealand into a tricky situation.

Notably, New Zealand came into this game after a big defeat against New Zealand, and they needed a win here. But now they have lost two consecutive games, and their qualification is hanging by a thread. Batting first, West Indies were at 30/5, but then Sherfane Rutherford smashed a brilliant fifty to take the team to 149/9. It looked like an easy chase for New Zealand. But they only managed 136/9 and lost by 13 runs. With this, West Indies qualify for the next round, and New Zealand are almost out. In this article, we will talk about some records that were broken in the WI vs NZ clash.
