Two big setbacks have happened in these tournaments and now every team became more alert from these underdog teams. 

New Zealand will definitely be worried today because most of the time Chennai seems friendly with spinners, Afghanistan is packed with top class spinners but before that they have to make sure that they are going to make a lot of runs against kiwi bowlers because they never allow any team to score big against them. This pitch is going to be a hard task for batters from both teams so it will be interesting to see which batter will score highest.

Devon is one of the best players of spin and he has a lot of experience playing in Indian grounds where spinners peak. He is the top most player of Chennai super kings and this surface is his home ground. He is getting a lot of support from his experience that he got in IPL and now that support is making him score for his team. If Afghanistan wants to win this game they have to set up this batter first. 

Rahmanullah Gurbaz 

Afghanistan does totally rely on this batter at the top. He is aggressive and gives a good start to the inning, in 3 games he scored 148 runs and in the last game against defending champions he went big and helped their team to set a challenging target. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has a lot of experience playing in Indian pitches and having a lot of top class spinners in his team makes him a good player of spinner and having average spinners in New Zealand he could be the highest score in this game and this can help Afghanistan to go for another setback in world cricket. 

Daryl Mitchell

In the last game against Bangladesh Daryl was the highest scorer with 89 runs and his partnership with Kane was crucial. Daryl has played many crucial innings when his team looks in trouble. He is in great form this year, in 19 innings with the help of three centuries he scored 789 runs with the average of 49.31, he is going to score a lot if he gets a chance to come early.
