Afghanistan Preview
Rashid Khan's side has made a convincing start to the tournament. It was a clinical show from the side against Uganda, where they won by 125 runs. The batsmen and bowlers executed the plans perfectly in the last game. They will face a bigger test in this game, and Khan would want his players to build on the momentum and win here.
In the last game, Openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran put up a 154-run stand. A good start from them will put the side in a strong position. They have a strong middle order and expect runs from Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib. With their hitting abilities, Azmatullah Omarzai and Rashid Khan strengthen this batting lineup.
The bowling attack had a dream outing against Uganda, and the side expects early wickets from Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Rashid Khan is the side's main bowler and must do well in the middle overs with Naveen-ul-Haq. Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, and Gulbadin Naib complete a strong attack.
Afghanistan Predicted Playing XI:
Rashid Khan (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran, Karim Janat, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi

Pace Bowling
Spin Bowling
Providence Stadium, Guyana, is one of the best batting surfaces in the West Indies. We have seen big scores, and batsmen can hit through the line on this surface. Fast bowlers can move the ball and have done well in recent games. Spinners can turn the ball in the second half of the game.
Toss: To Bowl
This track has favored sides chasing scores. We see early seam movement, and the first few overs are challenging for the batsmen. The wicket gets better to bat on as the game progresses. The side winning the toss would look to use the conditions on the track by bowling first.
NZ vs AFG
Winning Prediction
Afghanistan have started their campaign positively. However, their poor record against New Zealand will be on their minds. Their fast bowlers must deliver good spells and trouble the Kiwi top order to win. New Zealand has a strong batting lineup and depth in their bowling attack. We expect a close game, but New Zealand has the edge.
