New Zealand defeated Afghanistan by 5 wickets in a thrilling encounter in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup on Tuesday. The match was played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, and it was a tightly contested affair from the start.

Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bat first. They posted a respectable total of 250 runs, thanks to a gritty half-century from Hashmatullah Shahidi and valuable contributions from Rahmat Shah and Mohammad Nabi. The New Zealand bowlers, led by Matt Henry and Mitchell Santner, showcased their skills, preventing Afghanistan from reaching a more formidable score.

New Zealand, in reply, chased down the target with relative ease. Devon Conway and Will Young laid a solid foundation, and the middle-order trio of Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, and captain Kane Williamson continued the momentum. Ravindra, in particular, played a brilliant knock, scoring a well-paced century to anchor the Kiwi innings. New Zealand secured a convincing victory with some late fireworks from Glenn Phillips.

The match was a testament to the unpredictable nature of cricket, where both teams showed their mettle and entertained fans with a memorable encounter.
