New Zealand vs Afghanistan Dream11 Team Prediction T20 World Cup 2022

NZ vs AFG Match Preview

New Zealand picked up a magnificent win over Australia in the first game. The win has given them a massive chance of sealing a place in the semis. If they can beat Afghanistan in the coming game, they will get their one foot in the top 4.

However, Afghanistan in this format cannot be taken lightly. They lost to England in the last game but they made England struggle for the win, even in a modest chase of 113. On any given day Afghanistan score 150, they will be tough to beat.

Pitch Report

As we saw in the IND vs PAK game, there is consistent carry and bounce at the MCG. The new ball will be hard to play but the conditions will get easier as the game progresses.

Weather Report

There is a significant 80 per cent chance of rain. The match may be curtailed or even abandoned if the weather doesn’t improve. However, if it doesn’t rain during game time, the drainage system at MCG is very good and we will be able to witness a complete game.

NZ vs AFG Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Finn Allen

Finn Allen was at his brutal best against Australia and whacked the fearsome Aussie bowling lineup to all corners of the park. He scored 42 of just 16 balls to leave Australia reeling. Allen will be eyeing another such destructive knock against Afghanistan.

Devon Conway

Devon Conway has been the most consistent batter for New Zealand in recent times. He scored a brilliant 92 off 58 balls against Australia to pave way for a magnificent win. Conway is good against spinners as well so he will be key for New Zealand.

Mujeeb ur Rahman

Mujeeb ur Rahman usually starts for Afghanistan with the new ball these days and the Kiwi openers will surely like to attack him early on, giving him an opportunity to pick wickets. Mujeeb is not an easy bowler to score off thus he can fetch us plenty of fantasy points.

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan is another match-winner for Afghanistan. While Rashid hasn't taken many wickets of late as teams usually play him with caution, he is well capable to pick wickets in bunches when teams are looking to score off him. If Afghanistan can bat well, it will make Rashid even more dangerous.

Tim Southee

The conditions in Australia are offering enough help to the fast bowlers and Tim Southee is well capable to make full use of the help on offer.
