NZ vs AFG Dream11 Prediction: Kane Williamson-led New Zealand will lock horns with Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan to play the 14th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 on June 8 in Providence Stadium, Guyana.
While many teams have played two of their four group-stage matches, New Zealand and Bangladesh are the only teams not to start their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.
On the other hand, Afghanistan kickstarted their 2024 T20 World Cup campaign with a flying colour by beating Uganda by a whooping 125-run difference.
Both have played just one T20I so far against each other back in the 2021 T20 World Cup where New Zealand emerged as the winner by beating Afghans by 8 wickets. The New Zealand cricket team have won only two of their last 8 T20Is after winning 5 in a row prior to that stretch.
Both Rashid Khan and Ish Sodhi have 25 wickets each in T20 World Cups with Afghan’s economy of 6.16 slightly betters Sodhi’s 7.04. Since 2022, Glenn Phillips has struck at 193.71 SR in overs 16-20 in T20Is while Najibullah Zadran has scored even faster, at 197.97 SR.
