NZ vs AFG Today Match Prediction: Welcome to the 39th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 where New Zealand takes on Afghanistan. Both these teams along with India are vying for the 2nd spot in Group B. The equation is quite simple for New Zealand who just need to win this and they will qualify. If New Zealand win, India’s campaign will be over even before they take the field against Namibia in their last match.

Today T20I pitch report: The square boundaries are just 68 meters. It is a big boundary straight. There are a few cracks on the back of a length spot. Not all pitches are prepared the same way but if history is anything to go by, batters could be challenged on this surface. New Zealand might opt to chase while Afghanistan generally likes to put runs on the board and later defend it.
Who won yesterday T20I match: India beat Scotland by 8 wickets
