AUS vs AFG Match Preview

On Tuesday, Australia will face Afghanistan in match 39 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Australia, which has previously won this trophy five times, is in excellent form and currently sits third in the table. Australia were not at their best on Saturday, but they were still able to defeat England, the 2019 Cricket World Cup champions. This will be a different contest against a confident Afghanistan side, but Australia should be able to win in Mumbai. Afghanistan’s four victories in this tournament have come by wide margins, but they would be content with a narrow victory over Australia. Hashmatullah Shahidi’s team will take the attacking approach throughout the game and could cause Australia a lot of problems.

Topmost Picks for AUS vs AFG Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Australia

• David Warner – The opener is averaging over 61 in the Cricket World Cup 2023 and has scored 48 international centuries. He will look to take on the Afghanistan bowlers from the first ball.
• Pat Cummins – The skipper has found a consistency to his ODI bowling during this tournament and picked up the crucial wickets of Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone in the last match.

Top Picks – Afghanistan

• Rahmat Shah – The 30 year old right-handed number three batter had a slow start to this campaign but has now hit 227 runs from his last four innings.
• Fazalhaq Farooqi – The 23 year old left-arm quick bowler took 4/34 only two games ago in Pune and we expect him to get the most out of this pitch in Mumbai.
