Afghanistan and Australia will be taking on each other in the 48th game of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The match is scheduled to be taking place on Sunday (June 23) at the Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St Vincent.
The upcoming game will be the second Super 8 game for both the teams. Australia have won all of their five games so far and will start the game against Afghanistan as favourites. A win for Australia will see them as well as India seal their position in the semifinal.
The reigning Test and ODI world champions began their Super 8 campaign with a win over Bangladesh and will be looking to extend their dominating performance in the competition in the upcoming game. Afghanistan, on the other hand, began their Super 8 campaign with a loss against India and are on the edge of elimination. They will be knocked out of the World Cup if they fail to register a highly unlikely win over Australia.

AFG vs AUS Dream11 Prediction Today:
Captaincy picks:
Pat Cummins:
Pat Cummins will be one of the biggest threats for Afghanistan in the upcoming game. The Australia ODI and Test captain is coming into this game on the back of a sensational hat-trick against Bangladesh in the previous game. In 3 games, he has picked up 6 wickets so far and will be looking to enjoy another good outing.
Rashid Khan:
The onus will be on captain Rashid Khan to lead his team from the front in the must-win clash. The leg-spinner had a fine outing in the previous game against India where he dismissed Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Shivam Dube cheaply. He will be eyeing another impactful outing for his team in the crucial game.
Top picks:
Travis Head:
Travis Head has been in fine form. After the brilliant campaign in IPL, the Australia star has batted in the same form in the ongoing T20 World Cup as well. In the last four outings, Head has scored three 30-plus scores and one half-century.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is Afghanistan’s leading run-scorer in the tournament and the team will be relying on him heavily to get a good start with the bat. In 5 games, Gurbaz has scored 178 runs with the help of two half-centuries. He could not get going in the last game against India and will be lookin to make amends in the must-win clash for his team.
