It’s a wrap from our coverage of this game. Afghanistan made history with their first-ever win over New Zealand in a T20 World Cup. But the cricket continues on our network. Later in the day, Netherlands will take on South Africa and the big one coming up from Barbados where Australia will take on defending champions England.
