New Zealand U-19 vs Afghanistan U-19 Chance of Winning
New Zealand are the red hot favourites to beat Afghanistan U19 in their second match of the Under-19 World Cup 2024. Afghanistan were bundled out for 103 runs in just 26.2 overs against New Zealand. Pakistan scored 284 runs after batting first against them and won the match by a whopping 181-run margin.
New Zealand, on the other hand, were clinical in their match against Nepal. They posted a 303-run target before restricting them at 238/9 in 50 overs. They will be entering the match against Nepal with a lot of confidence.
Afghanistan suffered a massive defeat in their first match and their confidence will be shaken. It's clear that they haven't at all adapted to the South African conditions despite landing in the country in advance. Notably, they were part of a tri-nation series against India and South Africa before the ICC event. New Zealand have a great chance of beating Afghanistan.
