Another good comeback by the New Zealand side they were once 29/3. Latham and Phillips's 144-run partnership saved them from another big upset in the World Cup. Afghanistan's bowling was perfect but the fielding was so bad that they were unable to put more pressure on the opponent team. 289 runs is a big target on a pitch that supports spin attack. Newzealand has a few spinners on their team but only one of them is playing today. I am not sure if the pace attack can be fruitful on the Chennai pitch.
