NZ vs AFG: Afghanistan will lock horns against New Zealand in Match 16 of the ICC Cricket World Cup, 2023 on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
New Zealand is in exceptional form, with their top order firing on all cylinders, and their bowling performance has been outstanding. They are entering this match with three consecutive victories, brimming with confidence. Tom Latham will captain the team as Kane Williamson is sidelined from the World Cup group stage due to a thumb fracture.
On the other hand, amidst all the disappointment, the Afghanistan team found a glimmer of hope as they pulled off the first upset of the 2023 World Cup. They defeated the star-studded England team by 69 runs in their recent match in Delhi.
Prior to that, they faced consecutive defeats against Bangladesh and India. Their confidence is undoubtedly soaring, particularly considering the impressive performance of their spinners against England, and they are eager to make an impact on the spin-friendly pitch in Chennai.
