Afghanistan briefly flirted with the possibility of another huge upset in the World Cup before poor fielding allowed New Zealand to post a commanding total in Chennai and seal a comfortable 149-run win on Wednesday.
In less than 96 hours after they beat reigning World Champions England, Afghanistan got a solid reality check from a ruthless New Zealand, which recorded a thumping 149-run victory in a thoroughly one-sided World Cup match in Chennai on Wednesday. As a result of this conquest, the Black Caps remain unbeaten in the event so far, taking the top spot again with its fourth straight victory. Chasing a tough target of 289 on a spinner-friendly wicket at Chepauk, Afghanistan could manage only 139 in 34.4 overs. The Afghans found Lockie Ferguson's (3/19 in 7 overs) pace too hot to handle and had no answers for Mitchell Santner's (3/39 in 7.4 overs) deliveries, which at times, turned a mile.
The Tom Latham-led New Zealand once again stamped their authority in the Cricket World Cup 2023 with a 149-run win over Afghanistan. The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan came into the match after a stunning win over defending champions England. Much was expected of them but against New Zealand, they failed to fire. New Zealand, boosted by half-centuries by Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips and Will Young, scored 288/6. In reply, Afghanistan could manage only 139 in 34.4 overs. New Zealand have looked a very balanced side and next face India in their fifth match of the Cricket World Cup.
