AFG vs NZ Match 14 T20 WC 2024 - when and where to watch, venue, most likely playing XIs, full squad details, Pitch Report, Weather and more
The Kane Williamson-led side hasn’t played a lot of cricket in recent times as most of their players from their five-match series against Pakistan aren’t part of the squad. Despite so, the Kiwis can’t be taken lightly, especially in ICC tournaments, where they always manage to put up a show.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, picked up an astounding victory over Uganda in their opening match of the campaign. Openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran gave the team a perfect start, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Naveen-ul-Haq and Rashid Khan were phenomenal with the ball. They picked up an easy win but the challenge against New Zealand will be a different and difficult one
