New Zealand, who didn’t appear to be the best team on paper before the commencement of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022, have once again brought the best out of themselves in a world event on the back of qualifying for the semi-final.

New Zealand, who had finished at the top position in Group 1 during Super 12s, will face Group 2 second-ranked team Pakistan in the first semi-final of the tournament at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday.
