Preview

New Zealand will finally begin their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a game against Afghanistan(AFG) at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. After their crushing win over Uganda, the Kiwis will be well wary of the opponent's skill.

After a long wait, New Zealand (NZ) will get to experience the action of the T20 World Cup. In this edition, barring a couple of changes, the Kiwis come into the tournament with more or less the same team that played in the 2022 T20 World Cup. The Kiwis are a well-oiled unit both with the bat as well as with the ball.

Afghanistan (AFG) opened their tournament with a massive 125-run win over Uganda. Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled brilliantly to pick up a fifer, while Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran were the stars with the bat. The challenge for the Afghans will prove to be huge, as Kiwis are perhaps one of the most consistent sides in ICC tournaments.

Pitch Report

The pitch in Guyana will aid the team bowling first with the ground historically being a belter to bat second. Pace bolwers get reasonable carry with the new ball and the change of pace can come in handy towards the end of the innings. Batters will to have to watch out for the first few deliveries but once they get their eye in it will be a good track for a decent score. A target in the range of 130-145 should be ideal for the chasing side.

Player Picks

C

Trent Boult NZ | BOWL

The Kiwi pacer will be one of the bowlers to watch out for as he is very dangerous with the new ball. Trent Boult has been in prime form with the ball during the IPL and he will look to bring the same form for his national side too.

8.5
C

Rahmanullah Gurbaz AFG | WK

Afghanistan opening batter and wicket-keeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been in good with the bat. His flying starts in the powerplay overs has been crucial for his side. His battles against the Kiwi pacers will be one to watch out for.

7.5

Fazalhaq Farooqi AFG | BOWL

With a brilliant spell of bowling in the last game Fazalhaq Farooqi picked up the first fifer of the campaign. His swing bowling will be crucial for Afghanistan and could trouble the Kiwi batters.

9

Kane Williamson NZ | BAT

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has been a consistent performer for his side and he will look to spearhead the title assault for his side with the bat.

9

Rashid Khan AFG | BOWL

Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan is finally getting back to his best after an indifferent form during the IPL. It is imperative for Rashid Khan to be at the top of his game if Afghanistan have to make it to the next round.

8

Tim Southee NZ | BOWL

Veteran Kiwi pacer Tim Southee has the needed experience to get wickets with the new ball as well as with the old ball. His partnership with Trent Boult will be the one to watch out for during the course of this tournament.

Mohammad Nabi

AFG | ALL

Veteran Afghan star Mohammad Nabi struggled with the bat during the first match against Uganda. He also bowled just a single over and gave away 8 runs.

7

Rachin Ravindra

NZ | ALL

The young batter had a season to forget with the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Rachin Ravindra was largely silent with the bat and will look to be more consistent when he play for his national side.
