New Zealand World Cup 2023 Matches Details

New Zealand, a team yet to claim victory in the 50-over World Cup, had their most successful campaign in the 2019 edition, reaching the finals but losing to England in the summit clash. However, the Kiwis have encountered significant setbacks as skipper Kane Williamson and key all-rounder Michael Bracewell are ruled out of the World Cup due to injuries.

Williamson suffered a knee injury during IPL 2023, forcing him to miss both the IPL and the World Cup. Bracewell, on the other hand, sustained a ruptured Achilles injury while playing in the T20 Blast and is expected to be sidelined for 6 to 8 months.

Consistently performing well in the World Cup, the Kiwis have often found themselves on the losing side of knockout games, earning them the label of “dark horse” in ICC World Cup events. The World Cup will adopt a round-robin format, where all 10 teams will compete against each other once, followed by the knockout stage, with the top four teams advancing to the semifinals.

The final will be contested between the two highest-ranked teams on November 19. Currently, eight teams have secured direct qualification, with two more joining them after the Qualifiers.
