In the history of the T20I, this will be their second match; Australia prevailed in the first one.
This Sunday, June 23, at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St. Vincent, is Match 48, Super 8 of the ongoing T20 World Cup between Afghanistan (AFG) and Australia (AUS). Notably, the two teams played a 20-20 match at the Adelaide Cricket Ground just two years ago in the 2022 edition, with Australia defeating Afghanistan by just 4 runs in a very close match.
Afghanistan has lost one of their matches in the Super 8 tournament so far. Afghanistan therefore wants to regain its winning momentum. Conversely, Australia has been victorious from one Super 8 encounter. Australia would therefore
Speaking of Afghanistan’s most recent game, they had a bad day at the bat in their previous encounter against India, when Azmatullah Omarzai scored the most runs for them (26/20). However, Afghanistan was bowled out for just 134 while chasing a respectable total of 181. When it comes to Afghanistan’s bowling, captain Rashid Khan (4-1-7-3) bowled extraordinarily well, enabling Afghanistan to hold India to fewer than 200. In addition to bowling brilliantly, Fazalhaq Farooqi (4-0-33-3) provided Rashid Khan with outstanding support. However, Afghanistan failed to receive assistance from other bowlers, which led to them giving up 181 runs, more than their share, and a difficult total on that pitch against a potent Indian bowling attack. Afghanistan hopes that all of these would keep up their upward trend.
Regarding Australia’s most recent encounter, David Warner 53*(35) produced an outstanding match-winning innings that made it easier for Australia to easily pursue the low scoring mark. Travis Head 31(21) performed incredibly well and supported David Warner admirably. Regarding Australia’s bowling, Pat Cummins (4-0-29-3) bowled brilliantly, recording the first Hat-trick in this edition and helping Australia limit Bangladesh to just 140. Additionally, Adam Zampa (4-0-24-2) bowled brilliantly and supported Pat Cummins admirably. Australia won the match by 28 runs using the DLS system because to rain, thanks to the outstanding support of other bowlers who helped them restrict Bangladesh to a low score. Australians will therefore be hopeful that all of these will keep up their excellent performance.
