Santner has been welcomed back into attack by two big sixes from Najibullah. The batter is looking to turn things around here. The short ball was punished with a slap shot down the ground while a fuller ball was swiped over cow corner. 19 from the over.

After 13 overs,Afghanistan 68/4 ( Najibullah Zadran 32 , Mohammad Nabi (C) 6)

Najibullah Zadran and Mohammad Nabi have put together 12 runs in the last three overs. They are dealing in singles with the field spread but bowlers are not giving away boundary opportunities.

After 10 overs,Afghanistan 56/4 ( Najibullah Zadran 27 , )

The slow bowlers are proving to be expensive here. Santner gave away eight runs in his first over. Sodhi leaked eight as well but the leg-spinner strikes with the wicket of Naib who got out inside-edging his drive onto his own stumps. Afghanistan in deep trouble.

Expensive start for Neesham. 12 from it as Afghanistan try to get a move on. Two fours for Najibullah. One with an excellent chip shot down the ground. Another with the edge running past the keeper. They won't mind how the runs come as long as they keep coming.

Preview: The Indian team, and billions back home, will watch with bated breath as New Zealand face Afghanistan in a T20 World Cup match, the result of which will decide the semifinal line-up from Group 2.

A win for the Kiwis would shut India's hopes of advancing to the last-four as it would take them to eight points, putting things beyond the reach of Virat Kohli's men.

If Afghanistan manage to turn the tables on Kane Williamson & Co, it will keep alive their slim chances while boosting that of the Indians (on 4 points currently), who would need to win their last match with a good margin.

However, if the Kiwis secure a win, India's final league game on Monday against Namibia will be rendered inconsequential.

How the New Zealand batters handle the middle overs when star spinner Rashid Khan would be in operation would have a huge say on how the match pans out and a good start by the powerful Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell could prove crucial as would skipper Williamson's contribution.
