New Zealand will be going up against Afghanistan in match no. 16 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday. The Black Caps are currently in second place on the points table behind hosts India and have won all their three matches so far in the tournament.

However, the Kiwis will miss the services of their regular skipper Kane Williamson – who has fractured his thumb in the last match against Bangladesh after returning to international cricket from a major knee injury. Opener Will Young, who scored a fifty against the Netherlands earlier this month in the World Cup 2023 in Hyderabad, should be coming into replace Williamson in the playing 11.

Afghanistan, on the other hand, have a settled lineup after stunning defending world champions England by 69 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi last week. Hashmatullah Shahidi’s side will look to continue their giant-killing run as they take on 2019 ODI World Cup runners-up.

The two sides have faced off only twice in ODI cricket in the past and New Zealand have both those encounters so far.
