New Zealand has executed brilliant performances in the last few years in ICC tournaments. They have reached the semi-finals and finals consistently. However, the Blackcaps have failed to win even one trophy in ICC World Cups.
Kiwis reached the final in the T20 World Cup 2021 and the semi-final in the 2022 edition. However, they lost their knockout games. New Zealand also reached the semi-finals in the recent ODI World Cup 2023 but lost to India.
However, they have remained the most consistent and dominating teams for the last 5-6 years in ICC events. New Zealand will eye for their first-ever T20I title in the 2024 edition and break their jinx of losing finals.
