🏏ICC T20I Men's WC 2024: Match 14: NZ vs AFG, Providence 🏏 - Page 2

Quotes

"I think we saw in the 50-over World Cup we're able to compete with any side in the world. And that's our philosophy here. So, every game that we play, we expect to put ourselves in a winning position. Or fight to win every single game. So tomorrow that's no different."

Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott

"We've been predominantly training in the day and there are some large differences between day and night in terms of conditions. But from the couple of matches that have been played, it looks like a reasonable wicket, a good wicket, a fair wicket at the same time. Bit there for the bowlers but equally decent for the batters."

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson

NZ FTW 🥳

Thirteen matches into the World Cup, New Zealand's campaign is just about to begin. While the Black Caps have waited to get going in Guyana, at least five teams have completed two group games, some sides have been surprised by the varied challenges posed by the conditions, the ICC has publicly acknowledged pitch concerns in New York and the USA have downed Pakistan. The challenge for Kane Williamson and Co. is that they will have to hit the ground running against an opponent that warmed-up to the tournament with a dominant, run-rate boosting win at this very venue.
