NZ vs AFG: New Zealand and Afghanistan will begin their ICC T20 World Cup 2026 journey on Sunday, February 8, 2026.
New Zealand and Afghanistan will begin their ICC T20 World Cup 2026 journey on Sunday, February 8, 2026. Both teams are part of Group D, which also consists of Canada, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates.
New Zealand are coming into this game on the back of the 4-1 drubbing at the hands of the co-hosts India in the recent five-match T20I series. The Mitchell Santner-led side will be cautious as they face Afghanistan in their first game, and that too on a spin-friendly surface in Chennai.
However, they have big spin bashers in the side like Tim Siefert, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, and Finn Allen. Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi are the two world-class spinners, with the aid from Glenn Phillips and Michael Bracewell to take care of the adventurous Afghan batters.
On the other hand, Afghanistan are one of the most exciting teams in this T20 World Cup 2026, and they come with the reputation of having a brilliant tournament in the last edition in 2024. Under Rashid Khan, Afghanistan has had a good record since then, and they possess some serious batting power and an exhilarating spin attack.
Rashid Khan, along with Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Noor Ahmad, will form a dangerous spin attack, especially on the Chennai pitch. Coming to their batting, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Azmatullah Omarzai, and Mohammad Nabi will lead the way.
