That's a bit like saying, how the hell does playing the Redbacks constitute a state match?

C’mon man, I think you’re forgetting that we are currently on a winning streak!

A long winning streak by our standards!

Smashed them!
I watched the start of the Afghan innings, immediately had NZ bowlers under pressure. Finn Allen had a stinker, dropped a pretty regulation catch at deep backward square early off Zadran (may have lost it in the lights) and made a first ball duck, got a ripper yorker from Farooqi.
