Average Score
Player Picks
Finn Allen NZ | BAT
Allen was the show-stopper for New Zealand in the powerplay overs, wherein he smacked 42 off 16 balls, and is in sublime momentum.
Devon Conway NZ | BAT
The consistent contributor amassed an unbeaten 92 off 58 balls, with seven fours and two sixes against Australia, and will be the top pick.
Rashid Khan AFG | BOWL
The ace spinner finished with figures of 1/17 in the last game and is expected to continue his rich form in this game as well.
Tim Southee NZ | BOWL
The experienced campaigner returned with figures of 3/6 in the first game against Australia and has fine variations up his sleeve.
Ibrahim Zadran AFG | BAT
Although Ibrahim’s strike rate has been rather slow, he has been churning out runs consistently in this format. In the last outing, he scored a run-a-ball 32.
Glenn Phillips NZ | WK
Glenn Phillips could make only 12 runs off 10 deliveries in the last game and couldn't do much for the team. He is the leading run-scorer for New Zealand in T20Is this year and might play a key role in this game for the team.
Usman Ghani AFG | BAT
Usman was impressive in the last game with a knock of 30 off 30 to stabilize the team’s innings
Hazratullah Zazai AFG | BAT
Although the opening batter contributed only 7 in the last game, he is expected to play big innings in this game.
James Neesham NZ | ALL
Neesham had a great last game, wherein he scored 26* off 13, and took a couple of catches as well.

AFG | ALL

NZ | ALL
