Let’s get into the preview for the match. New Zealand are one of the 2 best teams in the World Cup so far and they should be favorites to win this one as well. They batted very well and bowled very well as well. They will need to do more of the same and the loss of Kane Williamson again will be a huge blow for them. They will have to score lots of runs.
On the other hand, Afghanistan are playing in a ground which will suit them the most and thus they will have a good chance to play good cricket and maybe win this match. Their Batters will need to step up and their spinners will need to take wickets at regular intervals. It will be a good match.
