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.
