This may be the first time in the history of cricket where a bowler has completed four overs of his spell but has not cost any runs in return. Lockie Ferguson managed to achieve such a record against Papua New Guinea yesterday. He only scored 24 balls out of 24 balls but not like that he picked up three wickets in 24 balls. I never thought that such things can happen in cricket and also in T20 format. After Lockie Ferguson's record yesterday, I think maybe the rest of the players can make the impossible possible. Lockie Ferguson's career best bowling might be another match in terms of wickets but he is the only record holder for what he has done in this match.
There is no doubt that Ferguson bowled well. And this is probably the first time in the history of the World Cup. Ferguson conceded no runs in four overs and took three wickets. There is no doubt that the New Zealand bowlers have bowled brilliantly in the last two matches.
However, New Zealand failed to qualify for the next round. I don't think it's a big achievement to win against weaker teams like Uganda and Papua New Guinea. This team is one of the two weakest teams in this year's World Cup. The New Zealand team lost badly against Afghanistan and West Indies in two important matches. New Zealand lost by perhaps a huge margin of 84 runs against Afghanistan. So even though New Zealand performed very well in the last two matches, it has no value.
