The Afghanistan cricket team is all set to lock horns against New Zealand in a one-off Test match, which is set to commence from September 9 to 13. The game is set to take place in Greater Noida, in the host country, India. This upcoming one-off Test match marks the first time in history the two sides will be facing each other in the red-ball game. In addition, it will also be their first Test match at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground, which has previously been Afghanistan's adopted home ground.
On the other hand, New Zealand has named a strong squad for the forthcoming Test match.

Notably, the upcoming Test match will be crucial for Kiwis who quest to qualify for the WTC Final 2025, with the Black Caps currently placing in the third spot just behind India and Australia.
