AFGH vs AUS Dream11 4th Match Prediction | ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 | Afghanistan vs Australia 4th Match Preview | Who Will Win Today Match

Bristol, June 01, Saturday at 06:00 PM IST

The fourth match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be played between the reigning champions Australia and underdogs Afghanistan at County Ground Bristol.

Australia -who is one of the favourites for the title – will be defending the title for the fifth and will face a challenging spin attack from Afghanistan.

Afghanistan boasts one of the strongest spin attacks in the tournament in the likes of Rashid Khan, Mohammed Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Bagging five wickets together, the spin duo of R Khan and M Nabi were heroes in the win registered against Pakistan in the warmup game. So,  can they weave a web against Aaron Finch and Company with their turns?

The match will begin at 06:30 PM IST.

AFGH vs AUS Dream11 Team:

Fantasy picks from Afghanistan

Asghar Afghan- The former captain Asghar Afghan is in a fine form as he has amassed 291 runs in 8 innings in 2019 at an average of 58.20. Against Australia, he has played two games and has scored 70 runs at an average of 35.00

Rahmat Shah- Rahmat Shah hasn’t featured against Australia but his current form is quite impressive.  In last four innings, he has slammed one century and one half-century.

Mohammad Nabi & Rashid Khan – The duo is currently amongst the top all-rounders in the ODI cricket. M Nabi bagged three wickets against Pakistan and was the lone wicket-taker against England while Rashid Khan returned with 2-27 against Pakistan.

Fantasy picks from Australia

Steve Smith- Steve Smith’s recent form is quite formidable. He smashed a ton in the warmup game against England and also smashed a fifty against Windies in the unofficial game played earlier.

Aaron Finch- Aussie skipper has amassed 634 runs in 13 innings in this year at an average of 52.83. He has smashed three fifties and two hundred in 2019.

Glenn Maxwell- On a pitch that is expected to remain a bit slow and offer some bounce, G Maxwell can be a right pick in all-rounders from Australia. With the bat, he has amassed 458 runs at an average of 41.64 in 2019. G Maxwell scored run-a-ball 36 against Sri Lanka in the second warmup game.

Pat Cummins- Cummins will be the key in pace bowling. He has picked 17 wickets in 2019, including two four wickets haul.

X Factor – Rashid khan & D Warner

R Khan has dismissed-

Marcus Stoinis twice in Big Bash League, Steve Smith once and Aaron Finch twice
