<p>With a string of shocking shocks, the ODI World Cup 2023 has gotten off to an explosive start. The Netherlands then stunned high-flying South Africa in Dharamshala, while Afghanistan stunned the cricket world by upsetting the reigning champions England in Delhi. The World Cup is now very open, and New Zealand, one of the two undefeated teams along with India, is preparing cautiously for its match against Afghanistan in Chennai today.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-242588″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-odi-world-cup-2023-watch-an-exciting-match-as-afghanistan-faces-new-zealand-downlo.jpg” alt=”theindiaprint.com odi world cup 2023 watch an exciting match as afghanistan faces new zealand downlo” width=”1229″ height=”688″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-odi-world-cup-2023-watch-an-exciting-match-as-afghanistan-faces-new-zealand-downlo.jpg 300w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-odi-world-cup-2023-watch-an-exciting-match-as-afghanistan-faces-new-zealand-downlo-150×84.jpg 150w” sizes=”(max-width: 1229px) 100vw, 1229px” title=”ODI World Cup 2023: Watch an Exciting Match as Afghanistan Faces New Zealand 6″></p>
<p>With three victories in as many games, the Kiwis have shown to be a formidable force in the competition thus far. Despite the setback of Kane Williamson’s injury, the 2019 World Cup champions were successful in carrying out their strategy. Williamson, who had missed the games against England and the Netherlands, unfortunately came back to captain the team against Bangladesh but shattered his thumb racing between the wickets. Although it is possible that he may play in the World Cup, it is very improbable that he would do so before the semi-final round. He has been replaced by Tom Blundell, who has been called up.</p>
<p>Afghanistan, on the other hand, is bursting with confidence after their incredible triumph against England on Sunday in Delhi. After two losses in a row, this 69-run victory has given the Asian team new life.</p>
