Given the turn available, the spinners will come into play as the match goes. At this location, having wickets in hand will be crucial, as both teams are likely to favour batting first after winning the toss. With the pitch unlikely to fluctuate much during the game, a par score of 160-170 should suffice.

NZ vs AFG Must Picks

Wicketkeeper

Rahmanullah Gurbaz: In the present T20 World Cup, Rahmanullah Gurbaz hasn’t been able to exhibit his full ability. Despite showing hints of what he is capable of, Gurbaz is destined for a major setback, making the Afghan one to keep an eye on in this game.

Batter

Kane Williamson: Kane Williamson’s performance in the competition has been hit or miss, with no fifties in his first four games. Given that this is a must-win match for the Kiwis, the captain will be hoping for a huge performance against Rashid Khan and his team on Saturday.

All-rounder

Mitchell Santner: Mitchell Santner bowled brilliantly against Namibia in the last match, returning with statistics of 1 for 20 from four overs. Santner is a must-have in any NZ vs AFG Dream11 fantasy team, with spin anticipated to play a part in the middle overs.

Bowler

Trent Boult: Trent Boult has been a standout performer for New Zealand in the T20 World Cup, taking eight wickets in four games. In this NZ vs AFG match, his ability to swing the new ball will be crucial, as the conditions favour his skill set.
