At least one punter has faith in the Black Caps, ahead of their match in Napier tomorrow.

The New Zealanders face Afghanistan at McLean Park.

One bet at the TAB has $40,000 on New Zealand to win, at odds of just $1.03.

Spokesman Mark Stafford says it's certainly an unusual bet.

"It's a big outlay, isn't it, for not much reward. What do they profit? About $1200."

Stafford says it's been a surprise to see so many people betting on one-sided matches against minnow teams.
