High-flying Afghanistan, led by Mohammad Nabi, have slipped to fourth place in Group 2, four points behind Pakistan, the first team to qualify for the semi-finals. The Afghans face stiff competition from New Zealand for the remaining berth, but with one of the best spin attacks in the tournament, they'll be hoping to upset their more experienced opponents. 

Afghanistan's top leg-spinner Rashid Khan, currently the fastest to 100 wickets in 53 T20 internationals, has warned New Zealand that his side will treat Sunday's Super 12 match as a quarter-final.

"If we win, we know we have a good run rate so we could be the team to be in the semi-finals. So just to go out there, enjoy your skills, enjoy your cricket. As long as you are enjoying, I think there [are] more chances you could perform," Khan told assembled journalists.

Watch an New Zealand vs Afghanistan live stream abroad using a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant T20 World Cup rights holders, you won't be able to use them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple:

1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.

2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For New Zealand vs Afghanistan, you may wish to choose 'Australia' for Kayo Sports.

3. Then head over to Kayo Sports on your browser or device and enjoy the cricket using Kayo's 14-day free trial.

If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, then do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
