Abu Dhabi: The 40th match of the T20 World Cup 2021 will be played between New Zealand vs Afghanistan on Sunday. This match is like a knockout for both teams. Both New Zealand and Afghanistan (NZ vs Afg) teams remain in the race for the semi-finals. Although this match is as important for New Zealand and Afghanistan, this match is equally important for India, as all three teams are claiming for the semi-finals. If Afghanistan beats New Zealand today, then India’s way to reach the knockouts will be easy. After the victory of Afghanistan, Virat Kohli’s team will be left to register a victory over Namibia. In New Zealand vs Afghanistan match, along with Team India, the whole of India will also be eyeing.

However, if the New Zealand team wins today, then along with Afghanistan, India’s hopes will also be shattered, because New Zealand will have 8 points and even after winning the last match, India will not be able to get the same number of points. India’s last league match against Namibia will remain a formality if New Zealand wins.

Kiwi attack challenge in front of Afghan batsmen
The Kiwi team has a strong bowling attack which will prove to be a problem for the Afghanistan batsmen. Afghanistan’s batsmen have performed well on the strength of their spinners so far. Their batsmen, however, will now face Trent Boult, Tim Southee, pacer Adam Milne and spinners Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner, who are in excellent form.

Afghanistan’s batsmen will have to make a good score today, after which the bowlers led by Rashid Khan can make a difference. The Afghan team’s bowling attack has definitely been weakened by the injury of Mujeeb ur Rahman, but they can take advantage of the weakness of the Kiwi bowlers against spin.
