TEAMS PREVIEW
Afghanistan Preview
Afghanistan have made a lot of strides in recent major tournaments. However, they are likely to come of age in the 2024 T20 World Cup. After having made a fantastic start to the campaign with two big victories, Afghanistan are looking to build on the same. The opening partnerships have been extremely good for Afghanistan. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been able to hit a staggering 116 runs in his last two innings. He has provided the base for Afghanistan to post the big scores and get massive successes over Uganda and New Zealand.
In the bowling department, Fazalhaq Farooqi has been a shining light with nine wickets in his last two innings. Rashid Khan was able to come up with a world-class performance against New Zealand by picking up four wickets from his four overs. However, there is a big battle for excellent bowlers in the Afghanistan squad.
A handful of players like Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the batting department and Fazalhaq Farooqi in the bowling department have been able to hit the headlines. Afghanistan have been able to hit 150+ runs in both their innings.
Afghanistan Predicted Playing XI:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan (c), Karim Janat, Gulbadin Naib, Najibullah Zadran, Noor Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi

Papua New Guinea Preview
Papua New Guinea are expected to struggle to even think about qualification to the Super 8. For a team that has never been able to reach the T20 World Cup finals in the past, the 2024 edition is a big advantage. Only Uganda have lost the same number of matches as Papua New Guinea, who were bowled out for just 77 in the game against Uganda. It would take a sizable effort from the team to recover from this poor loss.
Sese Bau opened the campaign with a brilliant half-century in the match against the West Indies but he was one of the several players in the squad who failed to have any impact against Uganda. The expectations are pretty low for the batting and bowling order from Papua New Guinea, who could end up dropping to the bottom of Group C based on results at the end of the day.
Assad Vala is one of the few players who has a consistent track record. Assad Vala had a strong outing against the West Indies with 21 runs and two wickets to his name.
Papua New Guinea Predicted Playing XI:
Assad Vala (c), Tony Ura, Sese Bau, Lega Siaka, Hiri Hiri, Charles Amini, Kiplin Doriga, Chad Soper, Norman Vanua, Alei Nao, John Kariko

AFG vs PNG
Winning Prediction
Afghanistan are clear favourites to come out successful in this game. The team has had a brilliant start to the T20 World Cup 2024. Papua New Guinea are unlikely to offer much threat with the key objective for the strugglers being to recover some amount of pride in the remaining matches. Afghanistan could very well come up with a big victory once again.
Our prediction is for Afghanistan to win
