Preview:
New Zealand will face Afghanistan in the Group 1 contest of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday. New Zealand’s impressive run in the ICC tournaments continues as they scripted a whopping 89 runs win over the Aussies in their opening game of the tournament and registered their first-ever win on Australian soil since 2011 in any format. Finn Allen and Devon Conway straight away stamp their authority with a 56 run-stand for the opening wicket. The bowlers bowled in tandem to bowl out the opposition for a paltry 111 runs where Tim Southee and Mitchell Santner stand out picking up 3 wickets apiece. They should not take Afghanistan for granted and give their best.
Afghanistan on the other hand weren’t up to the task against the disciplined England side and lost their opening game by 5 wickets. Batting first they were completely clueless where they managed to score only 112 runs on the board. Ibrahim Zadran and Usman Gani made useful contributions scoring 32 and 30 runs respectively. They gave everything with the ball and took the game till the 19th over. They have world-class and talented bowlers in their arsenal and the batters need to step up against the big sides.
What is the pitch report for NZ vs AFG, T20 World Cup 2022, Group 1, Match 21?
It’s a competitive wicket with equal aid for batters and bowlers. Straight boundaries are quite smaller compared to square boundaries. Spinners will play a key in the middle overs.
