New Zealand cruised to an 8-wicket win over Afghanistan on the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Sunday in the T20 world Cup, consequently finishing off any hopes India had of reaching the semi-finals of the tournament. New Zealand have sealed at least a second-place finish in group 1 with India set to trail them with the aid of two points in the event that they beat Namibia on Monday.
Pakistan undergo to the semi-finals as institution winners with 8 factors to date from their four games. They face Scotland of their very last outstanding 12 game on Sunday.
Afghanistan were constrained to 124/8 batting first in Abu Dhabi. They reached the whole especially due to the efforts of Najibullah Zadran (73 off 48 balls), who stood out in a instead tepid show by the rest of his team-mates. Zadran struck six fours and 3 sixes during his innings.
The Kiwi pace trio of Boult, Tim Southee (2/24) and Adam Milne (1/17) did no longer give some thing away inside the initial overs because the Afghan batters struggled to get going and fell in seeking to pressure the pace in their innings. Ish Sodhi (1/13) and Jimmy Neesham (1/24) have been the opposite New Zealand wicket-takers. Neesham conceded only two runs from the final over of the Afghanistan innings.
The result hardly ever appeared in doubt during the new Zealand chase with captain Kane Williamson (40 not out) and Devon Conway (36 not out) setting up an unbeaten 68-run partnership for the third wicket. The Kiwis were given over the line with 11 balls to spare.
