The host, Australia, is under real pressure here. The Aussie team must win by approximately 60 runs if batting first or chase a target of 140 in roughly 13 overs. Even if it happens, Australia will have to depend on the results of other games in their pool. Afghanistan will not leave it that easy. They have quality bowling. The only thing that will bother them will be their batting. We can hope for a sledgehammer approach from the Australian team.
Ground: Adelaide Oval, Adelaide

It is a terrific batting wicket that will offer pace and bounce for seamers. At the same time, spinners will also fetch the required turn.
David Warner, Aaron Finch(c), Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade(wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
Mohammad Nabi (c), Najibullah Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz(wk),Azmatullah Omarzai, Darwish Rasooli, Farooqi, Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Naveen ul Haq, Rashid Khan
Captain: M Stoinis
Stoinis, with his bowling, can be a key in this game. His shorter deliveries will be rewarded with wickets. Also, he can be sent on top to up the required run rate to qualify for the semis in batting.
Vice-captain: J Hazlewood
J Hazlewood hasn’t been at the top in the last two games. For his quality, he is not meant to watch the other bowlers take off the good stuff. He will indeed have a big game this time.
Wicketkeeper: Gurbaz
The opening batter, Gurbaz, will have a tough chance to survive in the conditions that favor the new ball bowling. But he can outplay it.
Batters: D Warner, A Finch, I Zadran
Both the openers of Australia will be assigned to a bug task, especially when they bat first.
I Zadran is the only Afghan batter we can trust on. He has the technique to be in the middle for a long time.
All-rounders: G Maxwell, M Stoinis
If R Khan starts to propel, the only bloke we can trust is G Maxwell, who can outplay the Afghan spinners with his sweep and reverse sweep shots.
Bowlers: J Hazlewood, A Zampa, F Farooqi, R Khan, P Cummins
The new ball bowlers J Hazlewood, P Cummins, and F Farooqi have the upper hand with the conditions favoring them.
The game’s leg spinners, A Zampa and R Khan, are the obvious choice for any cricketing venue.
