ICC World Cup: New Zealand to play unchanged XI against Afghanistan

Napier: New Zealand have afforded Afghanistan the same respect they showed Australia for today’s  game, resisting the temptation to tinker with their line up after winning their first four matches.

“The nature of the games we’ve had over the last little while haven’t been overly taxing in terms of the physical demands,” captain Brendon McCullum said of the decision not to rest any players.
