Trent Boult and Matt Henry struck early as Afghanistan lost openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran cheaply in the 289-run chase. Following the dismissals the two speedsters combined to deliver three consecutive maidens as Afghanistan accumulated 28/2 in the first 10 overs. Lockie Ferguson then injected a third blow as he removed Hashmatullah Shahidi for 8(29).Mitchell Santner, who became the second New Zealand bowler to take 100 wickets, removed Mohammad Nabi, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Fazalhaq Farooqi as New Zealand defeated Afghanistan by 149 runs.

Prior to that, Tom Latham and Glenn Phillips each blasted half centuries to aid New Zealand in amassing a formidable 288/6 in 50 overs. In the same over, Latham scored 68 (74), while Phillips slammed 71 (80) before being dismissed by Naveen-ul-Haq. Poor fielding by Afghanistan during the course of the inning allowed New Zealand to benefit to some extent from their opponent’s squandered opportunities. Later, Mark Chapman made a late-game contribution by scoring 25 runs off 12 deliveries.

Afghanistan was aiming to beat New Zealand in a spin-friendly Chepauk after shocking the defending champions England by 69 runs.

With the victory, New Zealand also moved into first place overall in the World Cup standings.
