Afghanistan will be locking horns with New Zealand on Sunday, 07 November, for their final Group 2 encounter of the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
Indian all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin took to Twitter and prayed for Afghanistan's victory in their Sunday's match against New Zealand. India's hopes of progressing to the semi-finals rely completely on Afghanistan.

If Afghanistan defeats the Kiwis, then India needs to beat Namibia and it will then come down to the net run rate between these three teams involved.
