London: New Zealand pacer James Neesham, who bagged five wickets for 31 runs on Saturday in the World Cup clash with Afghanistan, has said that he got the advantage due to being a tossed-up wicket.

"The wicket in our house keeps the ball low and slow but when I get a tossed-up wicket, I am able to show my true mettle," said Neesham, who was adjudged man of the match, according to the information. My bowling was affected due to the advice of some people but today I returned to my original colors. I was not trying to get the ball to swing more. My attempt was to bounce the ball.

With this, the Kiwi team, who have been playing the final in the bygone version, bowled first to restrict Afghanistan to 172 runs. In addition to Neesham, Lockie Ferguson took four wickets and then got the target for the loss of 3 wickets. For him, Captain Kane Williamson played an unbeaten inning of 79 runs. This is New Zealand's third successive win in this World Cup while the Afghanistan team have received their third consecutive defeat.
