New Zealand did everything right to ensure they have the upper hand against Afghanistan in their final group game. The save from Daryl Mitchell In the deep mid-wicket boundary kind of summed up their performance on the field. New Zealand have restricted to 124/8.

Meanwhile, Daryl Mitchell brought out a brilliant save in the final over of Afghanistan’s innings. The hit from Rashid Khan was going for six but only for Mitchell’s save they were restricted to just 2. He actually took the catch, one-handed and arching backwards, but then realised that he was falling onto the ropes, releases it, composes himself and then comes back to throw it to the keeper.

James Neesham’s Brilliance Dismisses Najibullah Zadran

Meanwhile, James Neesham brought out another brilliance in the field as he took a diving catch to dismiss Najibullah Zadran who scored 73 off 48 balls, which is more than half of the total team runs.

Zadran’s untimely dismissal folded out the tailenders for just five runs as Afghanistan scored just five runs since his dismissal.
