T20 WC: All Stats From New Zealand’s Win Over Afghanistan In Group D Opener
T20 World Cup: Tim Seifert’s brilliant half-century and a quickfire knock from Glenn Phillips helped New Zealand chase down Afghanistan’s competitive 182/6 with 13 balls to spare in their opening Group D match in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
Afghanistan had earlier posted a challenging total, thanks to a counterattacking 63 from Gulbadin Naib off just 35 balls. Naib’s innings and with his 79-run third-wicket partnership with Sediqullah Atal (29) stabilised the innings after pacer Lockie Ferguson ripped through the top order, dismissing Ibrahim Zadran (10) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (27) in his very first over to reduce Afghanistan to 44/2.
Despite losing both Naib and Atal in quick succession to Jacob Duffy and Rachin Ravindra, Afghanistan’s late surge from Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi helped push the total to a competitive 182/6.
