Opener Tim Seifert struck a blistering 65 off 42 balls to lead New Zealand's highest-ever run chase in a T20 World Cup as they beat Afghanistan by five wickets on Sunday.
After Afghanistan made 182-6, NZ were driven by Seifert's 42-ball knock and 42 by Glenn Phillips to achieve their target with 13 balls to spare in Chennai.
NZ's previous best chase in the T20 World Cup was their 167 against England in the 2021 semi-final.
