Pacer Lockie Ferguson delivered an exceptional performance, taking three crucial wickets without conceding a single run, as New Zealand dominated Papua New Guinea in their T20 World Cup Group C encounter on Monday.

Asked to bat first, PNG had a tough time at the crease, losing wickets at regular intervals and managing only 78 runs before being bowled out in 19.4 overs. Charles Amini emerged as the team's top-scorer with a mere 17 runs.
