Afghanistan and Australia will meet again in an ICC event, and the contest will be intense. These two have played classic games in the last couple of ICC tournaments.
Afghanistan will be high on confidence after their close win over England in the previous game. They are no longer a pushover, and a win in this game will confirm their spot in the semifinal.
Meanwhile, Australia’s last game against South Africa washed out, but they are still in a comfortable position. Like Afghanistan, they will also qualify for the semifinal if they win the contest.
