NZ vs AFG Dream11 prediction: Best picks for ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021, New Zealand vs Afghanistan match in Abu Dhabi

How important is this match? VERY - as a result here could decide the fate of three teams - New Zealand, Afghanistan as well as India. The 40th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 could also get their last and final semi-finalist when New Zealand take on Afghanistan in the Group 2 clash.

Having 3 out of four wins, New Zealand is currently placed at the second position on the points table. Afghanistan, on the other hand, has won 2 of their recent 4 matches and are standing at the fourth spot.

It surely is a do-or-die game, not only for these two sides, but the outcome will also impact India. If New Zealand wins, it will ensure them a semi-final berth. A win for Afghanistan will not only keep their chances but also India's chances alive.

Afghanistan's win over the Kiwis on 7th and India's win over Namibia on 8th will bring India-New Zealand-Afghanistan on the same number of wins. The semi-finalist would be then decided on the Net Run Rate. However, if New Zealand wins this encounter, it will end the hopes of both Afghanistan and India.
