ODI World Cup 2023: 3 bowlers to pick most wickets in today’s New Zealand vs Afghanistan match

New Zealand vs Afghanistan is going to be a low scoring tight game so it will be interesting to see which bowler will dominate batters and pick most wickets for his team.

New Zealand vs Afghanistan is going to be the bowler’s game, it’s going to be the rain of wickets in today’s game and both are two of the best bowling teams in the world so it is going to be hard for batters in today’s game to add runs in their world cup bucket. But with such great batters in both teams it is not going to be so easy for the bowlers to stop them. New Zealand has won their all three games and Afghanistan is coming with a big win against England, both teams are full of confidence and will be ready to lock another game to make their qualifications easy.

The results of the game can be surprising and Afghanistan could make another big setback in the game because along with their bowlers their batters are also in great form. This is not going to be easy for New Zealand to find a way to win from this game but having a lot of experience New Zealand has an upper hand in the game. Here I am predicting 3 bowlers to pick the most wickets in the game. 

Rashid Khan

When you are talking about Afghanistan cricket you can’t ignore this gem. Rashid Khan has made Afghanistan cricket famous due to his terrific bowling and playing around the world. In three games of this tournament he only picked 5 wickets which doesn’t suit him but he is capable of becoming the highest wicket takers at the end of the World cup. He has performed very well around the globe and specially in Indian pitches he has great experience. He has played 7 IPL games in this ground where he picked 8 wickets. Rashid Khan is one of the greatest spinners of all time and he can ever turn the game in his team’s side. 

Mitchell Santner

Santner is the highest wicket taker along with Bumrah and his team mate Matt Henry. He has taken 8 wickets in just 3 games which is very impressive. He has been associated with Chennai Super Kings in IPL and has delivered many memorable spells and this makes him much stronger in this ground. Being an overseas player he is as good as an Asian spinner so Afghanistan has to be worried about this bowler in the game. In the last game he gave runs with an economy of 3.1, so it is going to be hard for Afghani batters to score runs when the ball is in Santner’s hand. 

Matt henry 

Matt henry has also taken 8 wickets in 3 games and along with two players including Mitchell Santner he is the highest wicket taker in this world cup. He is one of the most underrated seamers in the world. Even in the spin friendly surface he could make a big impact and give a lot of damage to the opponent. He has played only one ODI game against this team when he went wicket less but today he will enter in the ground with great form and confidence.
