NAPIER (Reuters) - New Zealand's less-than-demanding fielding stints means they are able to play an unchanged side for the fifth successive game during the World Cup when they face Afghanistan in their penultimate Pool A clash at McLean Park on Sunday.

New Zealand have won all four of their matches so far at the tournament to top the pool, but have not yet been required to bowl the full 50 overs in a game.
