New Zealand have suffered two defeats en route to the T20 World Cup 2026 semis, but they’ve had contributions from several different players. Almost each match, there’s been a new hero. Tim Seifert and Finn Allen fired big knocks during the group stages, while Glenn Phillips has bailed them out on a couple of chases. Captain Mitch Santner, Rachin Ravindra and Cole McConchie thrived in the spin-friendly Sri Lankan conditions, while pacer Matt Henry has had a really consistent tournament.
