With a superb spell of 4-4-0-3, Lockie Ferguson became only the second bowler in T20I history to record four maiden overs in a spell, helping New Zealand dismiss Papua New Guinea for a mere 78 in the World Cup. The Kiwi bowlers, led by Ferguson, terrorized the PNG batters, setting up an easy chase for New Zealand who achieved the target with 46 balls to spare. Despite their consistent performance in ICC tournaments, New Zealand's early elimination from the T20 World Cup means they will now focus on regrouping for the next edition.
