Rahmanullah Gurbaz to be top Afghanistan batter

3.50

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 Expected 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 Expected Playing 11

  • Travis Head
  • David Warner
  • Mitchell Marsh
  • Glenn Maxwell
  • Marcus Stoinis
  • Timothy David
  • Matthew Wade
  • Pat Cummins
  • Ashton Agar
  • Adam Zampa
  • Josh Hazlewood

AFG vs AUS Toss Prediction

This match will be played at Arnos Vale Ground as a night game.

The ground has hosted three 2024 T20 World Cup games. All three have been won by the teams setting a score.

The captains may want to bat first and have faith in their bowlers to defend whatever they post.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather is predicted to be hot and humid on matchday. Temperatures at nighttime are expected to stay quite warm. Rain may play a small part.

Much like the trend of the tournament, run-scoring could be difficult. A score over 150 could be defendable.

AFG vs AUS Betting Tips

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.
