New Zealand finally got their first win of the campaign against Uganda in their last match. However, their defeats to Afghanistan and the West Indies had already dented their chances of reaching the Super Eight stage. The win against Uganda only proved to be a consolation for the Blackcaps. Having already been eliminated, Kane Williamson's men would want to bow out with a win on Monday.

Meanwhile, Papua New Guinea failed to build on the promise they showed against the West Indies, where they made the two-time champions grind hard for the two points. Assad Vala’s men suffered defeats in their next two games against Uganda and Afghanistan to crash out of the competition. They would have their task cut out against a strong New Zealand side.
