Match Preview:
At the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the 21st match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 will feature a match between Afghanistan and New Zealand (MCG). New Zealand is looking to build on their impressive win over the reigning champions Australia in their most recent match and pick up two more points.
Afghanistan, on the other side, lost their first game of the season to England. Their batting lineup struggled, as English bowlers only managed to score 112 runs off of them in the first innings. However, despite setting a modest total, Afghanistan’s bowlers were highly effective in keeping England on the ropes and taking five significant wickets before England ended the chase.
