New Zealand vs AFG Aspir11 Forecast: On Friday, June 7, New Zealand will play the highly motivated Afghanistan team Guyana in the first game of their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. In their quest for their first ICC World Cup trophy, the Black Caps will be hoping for a strong start.
The Kane Williamson-led team last played T20Is against in April of this year, and they chose not to participate in practice matches because to scheduling conflicts. A 2-2 draw against a fully-fit Pakistani team was achieved despite the fact that most of the important senior players were absent from the Pakistan visit because they were playing in the IPL 2024.
Afghanistan stunned newcomer Uganda by 125 runs in their opening Twenty20 World Cup 2024 match, requiring a 183-run margin of victory. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran scored outstanding fifties to establish early form in the competition, while pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi got five wickets for nine against Uganda.
