Australia vs Afghanistan (AUS vs AFG) Teams Preview


Australia Preview 

Australia are once again showing why they are the kings of ICC tournaments. They are peaking at the right time. They chased down 350 easily against England at Lahore. They beat Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup but lost to them in the 2024 T20I World Cup. Josh Inglis has been a very good wicket keeper batter for them and he hit a brilliant 120*. Adam Zampa has been economical. Their weakness is that they have no fast bowlers that can be threatening against Afghanistan. Steve Smith has to step up as the captain. Their match against South Africa was a washout so they cannot lose this match against Afghanistan.


Australia Predicted XI

Matthew Short, Travis Head, Steve Smith (C), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (WK), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Spencer Johnson, Adam Zampa 


Afghanistan Preview

Afghanistan are on a high after knocking England out of the ICC Champions Trophy. Ibrahim Zadran made a career best 177 runs against England. Azmatullah Omarzai is a player that is performing at the peak of his powers as he took 5 wickets and scored 41 important runs against England. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed are their big strengths. Their main weakness is that they play bad cricket whenever there is a pressure match in an ICC tournament. Mohammad Nabi has to step up in this important match.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (C), Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammed Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, Fazalhaq Farooqui
