New Zealand will take on Afghanistan in a crucial T20 World Cup 2021 match on Sunday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The Black Caps will seal a berth in the semifinals with a victory.
But if the Kane Williamson-led outfit lose to Afghanistan, India could overtake both teams in the race to the semifinals. While New Zealand will start as firm favorites on Sunday, they must guard against complacency as Afghanistan have the ability to beat any team on their day.
