New Zealand (NZ) are all set to host Afghanistan (AFG) in their first T20 World Cup 2024 game at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, on June 8. 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.
They have a very good bowling unit and the conditions will favour them in Guyana but the focus will be on the batters. Barring Gurbaz and Ibrahim, others failed to impress and that’s a concern.

New Zealand in the meantime have a lot of match-winners. Skipper Kane Williamson himself will be a key player for his side, while Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips can prove to be vital with the bat. Among bowlers, Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi can make a lot of difference. They also have veterans like Trent Boult and Tim Southee in the mix and their experience will come in handy.
