Hello and welcome to game 39 of the T20 World Cup. It is the second last game of the league stage. Both NZ and PNG are out of contention. They have been knocked out. NZ were found wanting against Afghanistan and Windies. That meant they were knocked out as the other two teams have been unbeaten so far. PNG on the other hand have been winless so far as they lost to Uganda in this group. And now have a huge task ahead of them.
