On October 18, at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, the 16th ODI Cricket World Cup match will pit New Zealand against Afghanistan NZ vs AFG. New Zealand has dominated the competition thus far, winning both of its games and holding onto second place, while Afghanistan has won one of its three matches thus far and is ranked sixth.
In their most recent game, New Zealand faced Bangladesh and chose to bowl after winning the toss. Bangladesh did not get off to a good start, losing their first wicket after the first delivery. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan, a veteran pair, were the ones to produce significant runs when the top order failed. They could only manage to record 245 runs. Despite losing an early wicket and two outstanding partnerships back-to-back, New Zealand easily strolled to an eight-wicket victory.
In their most recent match, England faced up against Afghanistan and decided to field after winning the toss. Gurbaz’s 80-ball innings for Afghanistan gave the match a tremendous start, dominating the action. In the middle overs, they kind of got off track, but they finished well in the final few overs, scoring 284 runs overall. England’s start was less than ideal because they quickly lost their first wicket and then continued to lose them one after another. They were unable to build partnerships, and as a result, lost by 69 runs.
