Match Winner: New Zealand.

These two sides have played a total of two games against each other, with a win apiece. With New Zealand having a proper understanding of the Indian conditions by now, we can expect them to do comparatively well across all departments of the game against Afghanistan, which has a relatively weak batting line-up.
