After being flattened by an Australian “freight train”, Afghanistan face the unenviable task of picking themselves up to face New Zealand at Mclean Park on Sunday. Black Caps paceman Tim Southee said the New Zealanders were intent on maintaining momentum against Afghanistan, who slumped to a 275-run defeat against Australia in Perth on Wednesday. He said the Afghans should expect no mercy as New Zealand seek to extend 4-0 winning record. New Zealand have already qualified for the quarter-finals and wrap up their Pool A matches against Afghanistan and then Bangladesh (in Hamilton on March 13).
