After winning the toss, Afghanistan decided to field first against the in-form New Zealand in the 16th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
The Kiwis have been in top form as they won all their matches played so far. They are expected to win today’s match too.
On the other hand, Afghanistan won only one out of three matches played. The win against England was sensational and also the first biggest upset of the World Cup where they thrashed their opponent by 69 runs.
The Afghans are also the favorites to win today’s match.
