T20 World Cup 2024: NZ vs AFG Dream11 Prediction, Match 14: New Zealand vs Afghanistan Playing XI, fantasy team today's & more updates

Preview:

While New Zealand is yet to play its first match in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Afghanistan won its first match against Uganda by 125 runs. The team outplayed the newcomers in all the departments and won the match comfortably. In the 14th match of the World Cup, Afghanistan will look for their second win, while the Kiwis would want to start their campaign on a winning note.

Considering the teams, it's going to be a great match. The in-form Afghanistan team will look to smash the Kiwis to qualify for the Super 8. However, New Zealand's team is extremely strong, and world-class bowlers like Lockie Ferguson and Trent Boult are there. This is definitely a game for the audience to watch out for.

Province Stadium, Guyana Pitch Report:

The pitches in the Province Stadium, Guyana, have been bowling-friendly and don't have much for the batters. The pitch was slow in the last few games, so the batters had to struggle to score runs. It will be the same in the upcoming matches as well. Now, it depends upon the batters to decide on the strategies to survive on the pitch.
