New Zealand have been playing excellent cricket in the tournament. With three wins in three matches, the Kiwis have established themselves as one of the prime contenders for the title.
However, Kane Williamson‘s injury and his indefinite absence will be a thing of concern for the team. In the absence of Williamson, Tom Latham will once again be seen leading the team. Currently, with six points from three matches and a net run rate of +1.604, the Kiwis are at the second spot in the points table (before the South Africa vs Netherlands match).
The Afghans will be high in spirits after their convincing win against the defending champions, England in the last match. That win was their only second victory in World Cups. With the Chidambaram wicket pitched to favour the spinners, Hashmatullah Shahidi and his men will believe that they can pull off another heist.
