New Zealand brought Afghanistan back down to earth, inflicting on them a heavy 149-run defeat to stretch their own winning streak in the ODI World Cup on Wednesday. Three days after stunning defending champions England in Delhi, the plucky Afghans briefly kindled hopes of another upset when New Zealand's top order suffered a mini-collapse. The 2019 runners-up, however, went on to post 288-6 after skipper Tom Latham and Glenn Phillips smashed rapid half-centuries.
