Black Caps fans are bracing themselves for an emotional journey when cricket's Twenty20 World Cup begins next month in the United States and West Indies, looking forward to the tournament with a mixture of hope and fatalism. That mixed outlook, leaning towards pessimism, is based on New Zealand’s experience of limited-overs World Cups.
Delhi Capitals’ Jake Fraser-McGurk reacts after getting hurt on a delivery by Rajasthan Royals’ Trent Boult during the Indian Premier League cricket match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals in New Delhi, India, Tuesday, May 7, 2024. Rajasthan Royals’ Trent Boult celebrates the wicket of Lucknow Super Giants’ Quinton de Kock during the Indian Premier League cricket match between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow, India, Saturday, April 27, 2024.
In total the Black Caps have reached the ICC World Cup semifinals seven times. But New Zealand’s only win in a major limited-overs tournament came at the ICC Knockout Trophy in Kenya in 2000. New Zealand has depth and variety in its spin and seam attacks. The batting lineup also is experienced and deep, featuring both power and grit.
Other factors of importance in a world tournament are the conditions and schedule. New Zealand is well placed when it comes to the first; 13 of its squad played in its last tour to the West Indies and six played in the Caribbean Premier League.
