Asghar Stanikzai (9) lost his wicket to left-armer Boult. Vettori dismissed in-form Nawroz Mangal (27), skipper Mohammad Nabi (6) and wicketkeeper-batsman Afsar Zafai (0) as the Cup debutants stumbled to 59\/6.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfterwards, a seventh-wicket partnership between Shenwari (54)and Najibullah Zadran (56) for 86 runs rescued them. Their stand became the fifth highest for the seventh wicket in the history of the quadrennial event.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe 22-year-old left-hander Najibullah recorded his second One-Day International (ODI) half-century. He hit eight fours and two sixes before offering a catch to Vettori at third man off pacer Adam Milne.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor the 28-year-old Shenwari, it was his 10th fifty and second in the tournament. He had scored 96 in a winning cause against Scotland. On Sunday, the right-hander played it slow and during his 110-ball knock, he hit five fours and a six.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nShenwari offered a simple catch to Ross Taylor and square leg off medium pacer Corey Anderson, who ended the Afghanistan innings by taking the wicket of Hamid Hassan (16).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBrief scores: Afghanistan 186 all out in 47.4 overs (Samiullah Shenwari 54, Najibullah Zadran 56, Daniel Vettori 4\/18 and Trent Boult 3\/34) vs New Zealand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
