Kane Williamson's New Zealand will take on Mohammad Nabi's Afghanistan in Match No 21 of the T20 World Cup 2022 today at MCG. Both teams have played a game each in this World Cup. New Zealand began their World Cup campaign with a thumping win over Australia in their opening encounter on October 22 (Saturday) while Afghanistan got a hammering in hands of England in their first clash of the World Cup. Kiwis will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Group 1 in the points table while Afghanistan will aim to collect their first points in the competition. 

Mohammad Nabi says that the MCG track is not expected to assist the spinners in this T20 World Cup match. "At that time in Big Bash, it was drier. The ball swings early on, for one or two overs, but after that it will be a little bit slower, less help for spinners, and the ball won't swing that much. But here the pitch is new and also a little bit green, as well, and also the weather is cold. It takes four or five overs, the ball swinging," said Nabi on the eve of the match.

"I believe we're in a new strip again. It looked like there was a bit of pace and a bit of bounce in the surface, which is always exciting as a fast bowler," said New Zealand ace pacer Trent Boult.

New Zealand have met Afghanistan only once so far. That was also in a T20 World Cup last year. In that match, the Kiwis beat Afghanistan by 8 wickets. Good news for New Zealand is that Daryl Mitchell has been declared fit and will be available for selection for today's game. The match however is under the threa of getting washed out as incessant rain is forecast for today in Melbourne.
