New Zealand vs Afghanistan World Cup 2023 Highlights
Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi invited New Zealand to bat first, and the openers started well, but Mujeeb Ur Rahman got rid of Devon Conway. Will Young and Rachin Ravindra stabilized New Zealand’s innings, while Will Young scored his fifty. Azmatullah Omarzai gave back-to-back shocks by dismissing both batters in the same over. Afghanistan did a short comeback in the match with quick wickets, but New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips and Tom Latham played the innings their team needed, and both batters scored their fifty, taking the team to an indomitable total of 288 runs in 50 overs.
Afghanistan, while chasing 289 runs, lacks shine in front of New Zealand’s bowlers. Though the openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran started the inning well, they soon fell in front of New Zealand’s bowling attack, and the batters afterwards didn’t impact the scoreboard that much as the Afghanistan’s team was bowled out for 139 runs. Rahmat Shah was the highest scorer from Afghanistan’s team; he scored 36 runs.

New Zealand vs Afghanistan World Cup 2023 Highlights: Player Of The Match
New Zealand’s all-rounder Glenn Phillips was named Player of the Match for his all-round performance during the match. Here is what he said during the post-match presentation.
“The Afghanistan spinners are incredibly talented and strong and with losing a couple of wickets in the middle there the way me and Tommy went about it was really pleasing. Our top order has done really well over the last couple of games, so to be tested in the middle is really good”
