Preview

Group C will witness Afghanistan take on Papua New Guinea in their respective penultimate matches of the group phase games. The Afghanistan side just need to win their match against PNG to officially knock out New Zealand and enter the Super 8 stages. PNG on the other hand will look to cause an upset as they have already lost their first two matches of the campaign.

Afghanistan (AFG) began with a huge 125-run win over Uganda before stunning New Zealand. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Rashid Khan were the heroes with the ball while Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran led the charge with the bat.

Papua New Guinea (PNG) began their tournament with a loss to West Indies despite giving their best. Their loss to Uganda will rankle them as they bowled well to reduce their opponents to 26/5 before a dropped chance turned the game against them.
