The Afghanistan team has lost one more wicket at the moment and they are batting under a lot of pressure. Afghanistan team has lost 4 wickets and their batting performance today is not very good. But if they can still form a good pair, it is expected that they will be able to meet the target given by New Zealand. As wickets are falling at the moment, it is difficult for them to improve their batting performance. New Zealand team has collected 288 runs today and Afghanistan have been batting badly since the beginning to meet this target. If this is how Afghanistan bats at the end, they will surely lose the match against New Zealand. At the moment Afghanistan score 27 over 106 for 4 wickets, Afghanistan still have a long way to go to achieve the target.
It seems like Afghanistan will not win this match as not the target is getting too much stiff and they have already lost 6 wickets for only 126 runs.
Afghanistan had their chance in the match but they gave too many runs in the last 10 overs of the New Zealand innings. Remember that New Zealand scored over 100 runs in their last 10 overs. Had Afghanistan managed to control that run rate in these overs and give only 50 to 60 runs, the target would have been less, meaning less pressure on their batting when they came out to chase.
