THE LOWDOWN
NEW ZEALAND
Coach: Gary Stead
Captain: Kane Williamson
AFGHANISTAN
Coach: Jonathan Trott
Captain: Hashmatullah Shahidi
THE PREDICTION
Alongside both India and South Africa, New Zealand have been exceptional in the early stages of this tournament but there have been signs of faltering in the last two matches. Struggling to finish with a flourish against the Netherlands combined with a slow start in their chase against Bangladesh will give Afghanistan hope and confidence of making it back-to-back victories; defeating both of 2019’s finalists. Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are getting into their work, with Mohammad Nabi able support, and on a turning pitch in Chennai, an Afghan win would appear good value.
BETTING TIP: AFGHANISTAN TO WIN
