<p>Afghanistan’s star man Rashid Khan has termed his side’s win against New Zealand as one of the greatest as his team pulled out yet another upset in the ongoing T20 World Cup in the early hours of Saturday (June 8) morning. Afghanistan beat New Zealand by 84 runs and now sit a win away from reaching the next stage of the tournament. According to Rashid, it is one of the prominent wins for his team considering his side has rarely won big matches in the T20 edition of the World Cup.</p>

<h2><strong>Rashid terms win as greatest</strong></h2>

<p>"Definitely I think it's one of the greatest victories for us, especially in T20. You know we haven't had those victories in T20 World Cups. We had in ODI, but in T20 I feel like this was one of the best the performances by the guys, and it's not just about a single guy you know winning the game it's a great team effort the way Gurbaz and Ibrahim started the innings," Rashid said after Afghanistan’s historic victory.</p>

<p><strong>NZ vs AFG head-to-head:</strong> After Afghanistan’s historic win against England in the last match, the team is now all set to clash with defending champions, New Zealand. The match number 16 of the tournament will take place on Wednesday (Oct 17) between New Zealand and Afghanistan. The game is slated to take place at the MA Chidambaram in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.</p>

<p>New Zealand have dominated the proceedings so far, winning both their matches and sitting in second position, while Afghanistan have won one game from their three so far and is sixth in the rankings.</p>

<p>Chennai is expected to remain rain-free with a peak temperature of 32°C around midday, gradually cooling down to 29°C in the evening. The evening, though, might experience a degree of humidity. The chances of dew forming towards the later phases of the match are possible.</p>

<h2><strong>New Zealand continue their impressive run</strong></h2>

<p>Having won their three matches the Kiwis had a solid foundation going into the match but without Kane Williamson while Tim Southee continued to remain on the sidelines. They took the bowling attack to Afghanistan who lost wickets at regular intervals during the 289-run chase. They were reduced to 97/4 before reaching the triple-figure mark with Rahmanullah Gurbaz (11), Ibrahim Zadran (14), and skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi (8) all returning to the pavilion for the wholesome score. Rahmat Shah (36) was the top scorer but did not get the required support as Afghanistan lost their way in the chase.</p>

<p>Azmatullah Omarzai’s 27 did show some resilience, but the minnows were never in the contest and were bundled out for&nbsp;139 in 34.4 overs. Santner (39/3) and Ferguson (19/3) were the architects of Afghanistan’s downfall. Trent Boult also ended with two wickets while Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra ended with one-a-piece.</p>

<p>Earlier, powered by Glenn Phillips and Tom Latham, New Zealand scored 288/6 in their 50 overs. The pair put up a partnership of 144 runs for the fifth wicket to build momentum on their side. Will Young (54) also scored a fifty at the top order. The Kiwis fell short of the 300-run mark but did enough to win the contest.</p>

<p>They next take on India in a&nbsp;high-octane clash on Sunday in Dharmshala with the hosts also enjoying a hundred per cent record. India will take on Bangladesh on Thursday before they shake hands with the team that eliminated them from the 2019 edition.&nbsp;Afghanistan will take on Pakistan in Chennai on Monday (Oct 23).</p>

Rahmat Shah (36) was the top scorer but did not get the required support as Afghanistan lost their way in the chase. Azmatullah Omarzai’s 27 did show some resilience, but the minnows were never in the contest and were bundled out for 139 in 34.4 overs. Santner (39/3) and Ferguson (19/3) were the architects of Afghanistan’s downfall. Trent Boult also ended with two wickets while Matt Henry and Rachin Ravindra ended with one-a-piece.
