Preview

In the 4th T20 match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, New Zealand (NZ) is set to face Afghanistan (AFG). New Zealand lost the five-match series against India 4-1. Their performance at the last T20 World Cup was also poor, with defeats to Afghanistan that led to their group stage exit. Nevertheless, this team has the potential to succeed, and their fans expect them to do so. 

On the other hand, Afghanistan reached the semi-finals in the previous T20 World Cup with an impressive performance. Underestimating them now would be a major mistake for any team. Additionally, they played well in the recent T20 series against the West Indies, winning by 2-1.

Pitch Report

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is usually a spin-friendly pitch. In T20 matches, the conditions don't favour batsmen and fast bowlers fully because of the slow pitch. Fielding first is often a better choice here, though chasing can also be competitive. Batsmen need to play cautiously to score well. The average first innings score in the IPL is about 160, and in T20Is, around 170.
