Earlier, Afghanistan’s batting woes continued after their openers got them off to a brisk start’ with openers Hazratullah Zazai and Noor Ali Zadran putting on 66 by the 11th over. But man-of-the-match Neesham, who took a ODI career best 5-31, and Lockie Ferguson (4-37) then grabbed four wickets for four runs to reduce Afghanistan to 70-4. They never recovered and lost wickets steadily before being bowled out for 172 with nearly ten overs to spare. “We did some bad shots, so we didn’t play 50 overs…we just missed some overs,” Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib told reporters. Neesham, a 28-year-old allrounder, almost quit the game last year after a loss of form but was then recalled for the World Cup. Afghanistan next travel to Cardiff to play South Africa on Saturday while New Zealand play India at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
