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 2-1.
