New Zealand vs Afghanistan Live Score T20 World Cup 2022 Live Streaming, Live Telecast- NZ vs AFG Live Score: ICC T20 World Cup 2022. New Zealand will face Afghanistan in the second match of the double-header at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). These two sides have had contrasting starts to the tournament where New Zealand thrashed their rivals Australia and Afghanistan received a hammering against England.

New Zealand defeated Australia in their opening game. The Kiwis cashed in a tremendous start courtesy of Finn Allen and Devon Conway, after batting first the black caps put up 200 runs on the board. Their bowlers were as lethal as their batters and pierced through the batting unit of the Aussies as they were bundled out for just 111 runs. New Zealand won with a huge margin of 89 runs.

New Zealand has been a formidable team in the shortest format in the last 8-10 months. They have a few areas of concern. Kane Williamson’s batting strike rate has been quite low compared to the others in the team and Lockie Ferguson hasn’t been at his absolute best post his recovery from injury.

Afghanistan came into the marquee event after defeats in the Super 4 stage of Asia Cup 2022. Their poor flow with the bat continued as they were on the receiving end of a defeat against England in the first game. The pace bowlers have been brilliant and the spin department has been up to the mark as well. But they have a lot of concerns in the batting department, the form of their opening pair, the Inconsistency of the Zadran duo, and the non-finishing abilities of their lower order.

Afghanistan could score only 128 runs after getting to bat first. But the bowlers were brilliant and kept things tidy. England took the chase deep and crossed the finishing line comfortably in the end.

New Zealand enter this game as a favorite but they cannot take this Afghanistan side lightly.
