New Zealand vs Papua New Guinea LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2024: Toss Delayed Due To Rain

New Zealand vs PNG Live Score: For a team as consistent as New Zealand in ICC tournaments, the Kiwis have paid a heavy price for being sluggish at the start as a couple of defeats upfront led to their surprisingly early exit. The game will, however, carry a massive significance for the Kiwi group as Trent Boult has confirmed this is his last T20 World Cup for the country and the Kane Williamson-led side will be motivated to give their best against PNG, who have lost each of their three matches so far.

UPDATE 8.02 pm IST (2.32 pm GMT) - Scratch the previous update. It seems like the weather does not like inconsequential matches. After a brief break, the rain is back. The covers are back on and we will have another delay. Frustrating for everyone involved. Stick around for more updates.

UPDATE 7.55 pm IST (2.25 pm GMT) - The visuals show the two umpires having a chat with the match referee regarding the timings of play. Toss will take place at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT) which is great news.

UPDATE - 7.48 pm IST (2.18 pm GMT) - There is some good news from the ground! The rain seems to have subsided and the visuals show that the covers are coming off. It looks like we will have a quick turnaround and hopefully, we get an update on the toss soon. Stay tuned.

UPDATE - 7.33 pm IST (2.03 pm GMT) - Just as we were gearing up for the toss, the rain has descended at the ground and the toss has been delayed. The covers are coming on but hopefully, it is just a passing shower. Stay tuned for more updates.

Papua New Guinea, on the other hand, have got a good taste of what it takes to play the top Nations and they did well in patches against the mighty Windies side. They have lost all three games they have played so far
