NZ vs AFG Key Players

Azmatullah Omarzai

Azmatullah Omarzai announced himself as a potential premier all-rounder in the last World Cup. Batting in the middle-order and getting swing with the new-ball are his strengths. His strengths are yet to convert to T20 form though and that is where he will be hoping to make a mark this season.

Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson has not had much action in recent times. He was on the bench for most of the IPL and has been away from T20 Cricket since January. His experience though will be very handy in conditions at the Caribbean, with run-scoring looking a little more challenging.

NZ vs AFG Match Tips

New Zealand will back themselves here. Afghanistan though could be confident in creating an upset with their bowling attack.
