New Zealand and Afghanistan will be playing against each other in the twenty-first game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at MCG. Both the teams have played one game each in the Super 12 stage so far.
New Zealand hunted down the defending champion Australia in the first match by 89 runs and is currently placed at the top of the Group 1 points table. Devon Conway stacked an unbeaten 92 with the bat while Tim Southee and Mitchell Santner picked 3 wickets each for the side.
On the other hand, Afghanistan lost to England by 5 wickets in their opening match and is currently standing fourth in the Group 1 points table. Despite a poor show with the bat, the Afghani bowlers did put up a decent fight with the ball. They will be hoping to improve on their batting weaknesses in this game.
These two teams have met only once in this format so far, where New Zealand had the upper hand. A good cricketing contest is expected here once again in this game on Wednesday.
The temperature is expected to hover around 18°C on the matchday with 79% humidity and 11 km/hr wind speed. There are 67% chance of precipitation during the game.
Throughout the game, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) pitch frequently provides a reasonable balance between bat and ball. The pacers might get some good carry and bounce from the deck here, especially early in the game. However, based on the track and records, the role of spinners could be limited on this surface.
The average first-innings score on this wicket is 150 runs.
The team batting second has great records here. They have maintained a winning percentage of 60 on this ground.
