New Zealand vs Afghanistan Highlights, T20 World Cup 2021: New Zealand beat Afghanistan to enter semis; India knocked out

New Zealand reached the Twenty20 World Cup semi-finals with a comfortable eight-wicket win over Afghanistan on Sunday, a result that eliminated India from the contest. Chasing a modest 125, skipper Kane Williamson (40) and Devon Conway (36) put on an unbeaten stand of 68 to drive the team home in 18.1 overs in Abu Dhabi. The Kiwis join Pakistan as the two teams in the semi-finals from Group 2 with eight points each, leaving India's final match against Namibia on Monday a dead rubber. England and Australia had already made the semi-finals from Group 1. The semi-final match-ups will be decided after Pakistan play Scotland in the second match of the day.

I think it's a proud moment for us, this will be the most watched game, so I'm looking forward to it. It's better to focus on the basics, believe in ourselves and enjoy the game. We always love batting first, and try to defend that. But against India we had the dew factor in mind, so we wanted to take advantage of it. Today, it's a day game, so we'll try to bat first and defend.

We were going to have a bat as well, it's a used surface. I think both sides have match winners and it's a mix of youth and experience. We are playing with the same team, no changes.

Kane Williamson, New Zealand captain

We will bat first. It was a night game in Abu Dhabi, so we bowled first considering the dew factor. It's a day game, so we want to post a decent total on the board. Mujeeb is back, he is in the team, Sharafuddin is out. We will try our best and try to win.
