Afghanistan, considered a dark horse for this tournament, did their reputation no harm with their dominant 125-run victory over Uganda. A win on Friday against New Zealand, a team looking to bounce back after a long break, would almost guarantee them a spot in the Super 8's. They'll fancy their chances against a New Zealand side that hasn't played a competitive T20I as a full-strength team since February 25th. This sets the stage for an intriguing game. Let's look at the players who could come up with a match-winning performance, along with the odds offered by the best betting apps.
Devon Conway
Last match stats - 63 runs vs Australia
T20 World Cup 2024 stats - NA
Record vs Afghanistan - 36 runs in 1 match
T20 World Cup Stats - 274 runs in 11 innings
The pitch conditions at Guyana are tricky for batting and batters with the right technique and can play both the seamers and spinners well will prevail. Devon Conway who is coming back from an injury played well in the warm-up game and he is the perfect player who can play a key role in the matchup against Afghanistan.
Trent Boult
Last match Stats - 0/24 vs Australia
T20 World Cup 2024 Stats - NA
Record vs Afghanistan - 3 wickets in 1 match
T20 World Cup Stats - 25 wickets in 14 matches
The last time these two teams met, Trent Boult walked away with the player of the match. Seeing how the ball moved under lights for Farooqi versus Uganda, one can expect Boult to come up with a match-defining spell.
Rashid Khan
Last match Stats - 2/12 vs Uganda
T20 World Cup 2024 Stats - 2 wickets in 1 match
Record vs New Zealand - 1 wicket in 1 match
T20 World Cup Stats - 25 wickets in 16 matches
Rashid Khan against two of the best players of spin, Mitchell and Phillips, could alter the result of the match. Given the nature of the surface at the Providence Stadium, we expect Rashid to outsmart them and pick plenty more wickets in this game.

The Providence Stadium pitch in Guyana has offered assistance to bowlers throughout the tournament. Farooqi's ability to swing the new ball under lights is a good indicator that Trent Boult, New Zealand's pace spearhead, could be equally destructive. Similarly, Rashid Khan's experience and skillset make him a major threat on this surface. With these factors in mind, Boult and Khan are our top picks to be the player of the match in the NZ vs AFG clash.
