Afghanistan reached 159/6 despite a good start in the match against New Zealand.
GEORGETOWN – Afghanistan set 160 runs target for New Zealand in the 14th match of the World Cup 2024 at the Providence Stadium, Guyana on Saturday.A strange innings which has finished with Afghanistan getting 159. Intent was not a problem in the powerplay but the execution was from an Afghanistan perspective. Then, just after the drinks break, they clicked into gear, with Gurbaz at the forefront.
Gurbaz and Ibrahim registered their second-successive 100-plus opening partnership and that set Afghanistan up nicely. Omarzai, after the fall of Ibrahim's wicket, continued that momentum but once he departed, none of the others could really support Gurbaz, meaning that Afghanistan could not push up closer to 170.
As for NZ, their fielding was sluggish, especially at the start. There were several lapses, including dropped catches and missed run-out chances. With the ball, they held their own at different stages, with Boult and Santner being the standouts. Ferguson was not bad either. Henry, though, was expensive and their decision to hold back an over of Bracewell also cost them a few runs, given Mitchell was asked to fill in right at the end.
