New Zeland will kick off their campaign against Afghanistan at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
Glenn Phillips vs Rashid Khan
This will be a key battle in the middle overs. Glenn Phillips, one of the strongest players of spin off against Rashid Khan, arguably the best spinner currently. The New Zealand all-rounder has fared pretty well against Rashid.
He has scored 40 runs off 29 balls against the leg-spinner in five innings without giving away his wicket. The Afghan spinner will look to improve the record, and this battle will be a key factor in deciding which team gets an upper hand.
