The fixtures and groups for this year’s men’s Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA have been revealed with the Black Caps playing all of their pool games in the Caribbean.
New Zealand have been grouped with hosts West Indies, Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea and debutants Uganda - in Group C — one of four five-team pools.
The Black Caps open the tournament on June 1 against Afghanistan in Guyana with their remaining pool games in Trinidad and Tobago. The top two teams in each group advance to the Super Eights stage and with the Black Caps pitted against West Indies in their second match it’s likely their fate will be decided with two games remaining.
