Both sides are aiming to confirm their spot in the semi-finals, and this will be a must-win match for them. After losing their first match to Pakistan, New Zealand did extremely well to win their next three matches and will be confident of beating Afghanistan in this match. They are at the second spot in the Group 2 standings with 6 points. There are still some concerns with their batting and it needs to be addressed.
Winning might not enough for Afghanistan. They must win this match by a huge margin to keep themselves in contention, with India expected to beat Namibia in the last Super 12 fixture. They lost badly India in their previous match by 66 runs. The Afghan bowlers were all over the place and didn’t bowl up to the expectations. With 2 wins and 2 losses, they are at the fourth spot in the Group 2 standings with 4 points.
