Devon Conway has played a great role in guiding New Zealand to win the series against Pakistan

Star cricketer Devon Conway has played a great role in guiding New Zealand to win the ongoing T20I series. Notably, the Black Caps have sealed the five matches of the T20I series by 3-0, and they will be looking to win the remaining two games as well to whitewash the series to boost their preparation for the T20 World Cup 2024. Meanwhile, the New Zealand cricket team suffered a defeat against Pakistan in the semi-final clash of the T20 World Cup 2022.

New Zealand is undeniably one of the best teams in the major events, yet the most unsuccessful team to win the title. Notably, the sides reached the finals of the 2015 and 2019 ODI World Cup but suffered defeats against Australia and England, respectively. Meanwhile, Team India defeated them in the semi-final of the 2023 ODI World Cup; however, they will aim to win the T20 World Cup 2024, which is set to start on June 1 in the West Indies and the USA.
