Consider the below NZ vs AFG betting tips from the 14th group-stage game of the 2024 T20 World Cup, which our team at CBA thinks could well turn out correct. Devon Conway to score 25 or more runs, Finn Allen to hit 1 or more sixes, Trent Boult and Rashid Khan to take 1 or more wickets each: 4.00 (Melbet) Rahmanullah Gurbaz to score over 49.5 runs & Trent Boult to take over 1.5 wickets: 6.00 (Melbet) Rahmanullah Gurbaz to hit the most sixes in the match: 4.00 (Melbet) New Zealand vs Afghanistan Todays’ Match Prediction New Zealand vs. Afghanistan Win Probability: NZ (72%), AFG (28%) The two teams have faced each other only twice in the shortest format of the game, with the Kiwis winning one match and the other getting abandoned. Afghanistan is coming off a dominating performance against debutant Uganda, while the Black Caps will be playing their first match in this tournament. Afghanistan’s top order has been in great form; however, they have underperformed while facing good-quality fast bowling. The Providence Stadium is infamous for its sluggish pitches. With the wicket assisting fast bowlers and spinners alike, any target between 140 and 150 will be competitive owing to the tough conditions for batting. NEW ZEALAND vs AFGHANISTAN MATCH PREDICTION Even though the Afghans are known for their resilience and fighting spirit, they have never defeated New Zealand in any format of the sport. We at CBA reckon that the Kiwis will come out victorious in this contest owing to a more balanced squad with the perfect mix of experience and youth. That said, New Zealand must be careful while taking on the spin wizard Rashid Khan, who has the ability to change the course of the match in a span of a few deliveries.

Finn Allen has made his way back into the national side after recovering from a back injury. Kyle Jamieson and Adam Milne have been ruled out of the tournament with injuries. The Black Caps’ seam bowling department will be spearheaded by the experienced duo of Tim Southee and Trent Boult. New Zealand Probable XI Kane Williamson (C), Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway (WK), Jimmy Neesham, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson/Ish Sodhi, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee Afghanistan The opening duo of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran look in good nick. Young spinner Nangeyalia Kharote has made his way into the World Cup squad after an impressive debut series against Ireland. Fazalhaq Farooqi, Naveen ul Haq, and Fareed Ahmad are the pick of the seam bowlers for Afghanistan. Afghanistan Probable 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 Key Players New Zealand Kane Williamson: A world-class batter without an iota of doubt, Kane Williamson is also an excellent player of spin bowling. He will be vital for New Zealand to counter Afghanistan’s spin wizards on a wicket that is known to favour spin bowlers. With 2547 runs in 89 matches, Williamson is the leading run-getter for the Kiwis among active players. Devon Conway: Ranking 7th in the all-time run-scoring charts for New Zealand in the shortest format of the game, Devon Conway has been one of the most consistent batters for the Black Caps in recent years. Even though he will be taking to the field after a long injury layoff, expect him to make an immediate impact as he takes on Afghanistan’s inexperienced bowling unit. Mitchell Santner: Mitchell Santner is a wily left-arm orthodox spin bowler who frustrates the opposing batters with his disciplined line and length giving them little to no room to play freely. With 111 career T20I wickets at an economy rate of 7.11, expect him to make the most of the slow, turning pitch at Providence. Afghanistan Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan has undoubtedly garnered the reputation of being one of the modern-day greats of the T20 format in recent years. Apart from being Afghanistan’s all-time leading wicket-taker in all formats, Rashid can also be quite useful with the bat in the lower order by contributing to the run tally. Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been in exceptional form since featuring in the later stages of IPL for KKR and winning it. Gurbaz along with Ibrahim Zadran formed a 154-run opening partnership against Uganda in the previous match. Moreover, Gurbaz has the highest strike rate (139.34) in T20Is among his peers. Ibrahim Zadran: With 351 runs in 11 matches, Ibrahim Zadran is the highest run-scorer for Afghanistan in T20Is in the current year. While being a consistent performer with the bat for his national side, he has also worked hard on upping his strike rate. In the previous match, Zadran scored a quickfire 70 runs off 46 balls against Uganda, which included 9 fours and a six. Where to Watch?
