T20 World Cup: New Zealand fall short again as white-ball title remains out of reach | New Zealand in India 2016 News – Times of India

New Zealand's early exit from the ongoing T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbean islands was particularly disappointing given their strong track record in previous editions, where they consistently reached at least the semi-finals. Their campaign was derailed by an unexpected loss to Afghanistan and a defeat at the hands of co-hosts West Indies, and ended with a meaningless victory against Papua New Guinea, a team considered to be one of the weakest in the tournament. T20 WORLD CUP: Schedule | Points TableThe win provided little solace for the Kiwis, who were already eliminated from the competition."It's natural at the end of the World Cup cycle, and especially if you haven't done quite as well as what you wanted, that there's a lot of reflections going on," said the NZ head coach G...

New Zealand lost to the West Indies by 13 runs in their group stage clash at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
