New Zealand vs Afghanistan, 4th Match, Group D, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Matt Henry to Azmatullah, SIX, brilliant release shot from Azmatullah and Matt Henry is livid that he offered pace and width on this short of length delivery. Azmatullah stood leg-side again and slapped it hard over deep cover to end the over on a high

Matt Henry to Nabi, 1 run, shuffles in the crease but reaches out to this wide full ball, only to toe-end it over cover. Sweeper ran in to attack the catch but missed

Matt Henry to Azmatullah, 1 run, slower delivery on the stumps, Azmatullah pulls and mistimes to deep square leg

Matt Henry to Azmatullah, no run, slower delivery bouncing past the batter, Azmatullah leaves assuming this will be wide height but it wasn't

Matt Henry to Nabi, 1 run, slower delivery on the off stump, Nabi works it to mid-wicket

Matt Henry to Darwish Rasooli, out Caught by Phillips!! Smashed straight to deep mid-wicket. Matt Henry knows how to bowl here. Just dished out a slower ball into the wicket and asked the batter to force the pace against decent sized boundaries. Rasooli goes flat on the pull and Phillips comes forward to take a good low catch. Darwish Rasooli c Phillips b Matt Henry 20(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, no run, short of a length and angling into the right-hander - Gurbaz is early into the pull and cops a blow on his fore-arm

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, 2 runs, banged in short and just outside off - Gurbaz doesn't get fully on top of the bounce as he went for the pull, gets enough though to clear the fielderr running back at mid-on. He's back for the second run

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, no run, on a good length and just outside off - punched onto the ground and over the bowler's head

Matt Henry to Ibrahim Zadran, leg byes, 1 run, a run-out chance, but there's an appeal for LBW first and New Zealand have reviewed. Looks a fraction too high to the naked eye, struck on the back-thigh and in front of middle-stump. No bat and UltraEdge confirms the same. Onto ball-tracking: It's taking a bit of time to load. It's bouncing over the stumps and NOT OUT stays. New Zealand have burnt an early review - the ball rolled to the off-side and they were looking for a quick single. The fielder - Finn Allen - is quick on the ball and a direct hit would've had Zadran well short at the bowler's end

Matt Henry to Ibrahim Zadran, 2 runs, tad fuller and angling into the right-hander - Ibrahim Zadran is a fraction early into the flick and the chip over high over mid-wicket, but the ball drops wide of Rachin Ravindra, who was running across to his left at deep square leg

Matt Henry to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, whipped, too full and too straight from Matt Henry - Zadran brings the botom-hand into play and then whips it over mid-wicket, couple of bounces and over the ropes

Matt Henry to Ibrahim Zadran, no run, on a good length and just outside off, defended with a straight bat

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, 3 runs, Oh dear! Three men run for the catch - it's Seifert's call, he had it covered, but Finn Allen runs across from short fine, bumps into the keeper and ends up dropping the chance. A horrid slog from Gurbaz, ran down the pitch and threw his bat on the slog - gets a top-edge that went right over the keeper's head, slip too ran back and then let the keeper go - Seifert did seem to be in full control, was his catch and he was put away by Finn's actions

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, no run, banged in short and well wide of off - Gurbaz shuffles across on the big pull and missed

Matt Henry to Ibrahim Zadran, 1 run, banged in short and at the stumps - Zadran swivels across and miscues the pull to short fine. Finn Allen takes his eyes off the ball and lets a single

Matt Henry to Ibrahim Zadran, no run, tad fuller and just outside off - Zadran leans across and defends it to mid-on

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, 1 run, on a good length and in that channel around off, dabbed backward of square on the off-side for a single

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, no run, banged in short and at the stumps - Gurbaz watches it sail through to the keeper

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, 2 runs, fraction fuller and just outside off - Gurbaz leans across, plays with an open face and then lifts it over mid-off. Santner with the chase and he keeps them down to a couple

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, 2 runs, a mistimed swipe and Gurbaz gets away, came down the pitch, backed away and flayed at one over point, hit slightly high on the bat and there's no elevation on the shot. The ball though drops over the head of cover-point who ran back

Matt Henry to Ibrahim Zadran, leg byes, 1 run, on a good length and angling into the right-hander - Zadran gets across on the flick and misses, off the pad and rolled onto the on-side

Matt Henry to Ibrahim Zadran, no run, short and into the body - Zadran gets into a mighty tangle as he went back on the pull, struck high on the thigh-pad and it went perilously past the leg-stump

Matt Henry to Gurbaz, 1 run, short of a good length and at the stumps, nudged with soft hands towards square leg - Gurbaz is off the mark with a single
