AFG vs AUS Team Previews
Afghanistan
Afghanistan have come a long way in their T20 World Cup journey. Their first three tournaments ended in the group stage. They will now feel like they have a realistic chance at making the semi-finals, but will need to bounce back after a loss to India.
Rashid Khan is the country's highest T20I wicket-taker by a significant margin. He has taken almost 150 wickets in T20Is.
22-year-old Rahmanullah Gurbaz has done most of his damage under Rashid Khan. The wicketkeeper-batter has scored more than 500 runs under Khan. This is the most for him under any of his T20I captains.
Mohammad Nabi will eagerly await facing two left-handers in Head and Warner at the top of the order. The T20 veteran has 40 T20I wickets going at an economy of 6,99 in night fixtures.
Afghanistan Playing 11
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat, Nangyal Kharoti, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Naveen ul Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi.
Australia
Australia have won two-thirds of their T20 World Cup games overall.
Australia's premier leg-spinner, Adam Zampa, will be wanting to make the difference. Zampa is currently their highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 11 wickets.
David Warner was the player of the tournament in Australia's 2021 T20 World Cup-winning campaign. He will want to take advantage of fielding restrictions in the powerplay.
Travis Head could be one of Australia's weapons to negate Rashid Khan's spin. As a left-hander, the ball would be spinning into Head, giving him the opportunity to access the legside.
Australia Playing 11
Travis Head, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Timothy David, Matthew Wade, Pat Cummins, Ashton Agar, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

Afghanistan will be relying on their match-winners to produce on the big stage. Australia have a captain in Mitchell Marsh who has been part of Perth Scorchers squads which have won the Big Bash League in Australia. He will know how to handle pressure.
Australia's pedigree in ICC World Cup tournaments may shine through in this one. Afghanistan will want to give the Aussies a fight though.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Mitchell Marsh's men could be batting first. They have a 50 percent chance of winning the toss.
The opening batter scored 53 runs in the 2021 T20 World Cup final to help Australia seal their maiden T20 World Cup title. His big match temperament could show in this fixture.
Zampa has already achieved his second-most successful T20I year in terms of taking wickets. He has taken 21 wickets in 2024.
Mitchell Starc and Rahmanullah Gurbaz were Kolkata Knight Riders teammates in the 2024 IPL. The young batter could be destructive if he gets through the new ball against Starc. He is Afghanistan's leading run-scorer this tournament with 178 runs.
