An 84-run win, Afghanistan's first over New Zealand, and the result that effectively ended New Zealand's T20 World Cup.
The other meetings have gone the other way - eight wickets at Abu Dhabi in the 2021 World Cup, a five-wicket chase at Chennai in February 2026 after Gulbadin Naib had made 63. A washout at Melbourne in 2022 remains the only meeting with no result.
