The New Zealand cricket team will take on Afghanistan in match 16 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The 2019 World Cup runner ups, New Zealand are enjoying an unbeaten run, having won all their three matches so far in the tournament while Afghanistan are making their presence felt with a stunning win over reigning champions England. Here are some of the top batters and bowlers to watch out from the match between New Zealand and Afghanistan.
MELBOURNE : Australia coach Graham Arnold has called on the government to help ensure the Socceroos play their World Cup qualifier against the Palestine team at a safe, neutral venue due to security concerns in the region.
Australian legend Ricky Ponting believes a "laid-back" Rohit Sharma is the ideal captain to lead India to their third ODI World Cup title, the second on home soil after the 2011 triumph. With three convincing wins under their belt, India have made a perfect start to their World Cup campaign. India defeated Australia by six wickets in their tournament opener, before registering emphatic eight and seven-wicket wins over Afghanistan and Pakistan to sit on top of the points table.
England cannot be faulted for effort at the World Cup but the team are lacking confidence and must start imposing themselves on the opposition, coach Matthew Mott said, after the defending champions lost two of their first three matches in India.
Adapting to sub-continental pitches and success with the ball in the middle overs are key to continuing New Zealand's winning momentum at the Cricket World Cup, their captain Tom Latham said ahead of Wednesday's clash with Afghanistan in Chennai.

Afghanistan's upset win over defending champions England has given the side a new stature and New Zealand would underestimate Hashmatullah Shahidi's side at their own peril when the two sides clash in their World Cup match on Wednesday. While the Kiwis would look to keep their unbeaten run going in the tournament, Afghanistan, who shocked England by 69 runs, would be keen to create another big upset and put their campaign firmly on track in the showpiece event. New Zealand are going great guns in the tournament, having won all three matches so far and are currently placed second on the points table, trailing India on net run rate.
