AUS vs AFG, World Cup 2023 Match 39: Team news
Australia’s injury problems continue, with Steve Smith’s availability for the crucial World Cup match against Afghanistan in doubt. The Australian vice-captain admitted that he was suffering from dizziness and seemed to be feeling unwell after training in Mumbai on Monday. Glenn Maxwell suffered a concussion last week but appears to be fit and able to play. Mitchell Marsh returned home from Australia following the death of his grandfather.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, may bring back Naveen-ul-Haq, but the situation is not expected to favor a fourth spinner in Noor Ahmed. Teams have been shuffling their bowling combinations depending on the situation and are likely to follow a similar pattern.
Australia vs Afghanistan: Expected XIs
Australians: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith/Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (Wauche), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gulbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Ikram Alikil (wk), Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Naveen. .ul Haq
Match prediction: Who will win today’s match?
Even though Afghanistan has outperformed them in the World Cup, they will face stiff competition from Australia, who have won five consecutive games. There will be a lot of scoring on the field, and if Australia takes the lead, we can expect big scores.
