AUS vs AFG Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter

DAVID WARNER

The swashbuckling southpaw was the player of the tournament in the last T20 World Cup. He has an incredible record on home turf and is expected to be the anchor in this Australian line-up, otherwise filled with power hitters. If Australia is to get to a competitive total, he must bat through the innings, and for that reason, he could well be the top scorer for this match.

Probable Best Bowler

Rashid Khan

Without a shadow of a doubt, Rashid Khan is the bowler to put your money on in this encounter. Even at a young age, he has found a place amongst the T20 greats. The Aussie batters will be vary of his threat and is expected to be cautious in his four overs.

AUS vs AFG Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s Match Between AUSTRALIA and AFGHANISTAN

• The trio of Cummins, Starc, and Hazlewood are yet to click in this tournament, with Pat Cummins looking like a complete misfit for bowling the death overs.
• Afghanistan’s batting is heavily dependent on Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran alone. Everyone except their openers are quite conservative in their approach and that style is not suited for T20 cricket.
• The outcome of the match and the chances of Australia’s qualification will be dependent on how well Aussie batsmen can tackle the 10-12 overs of spin from Afghanistan.
• Both sides are facing each other for the first time in a T20I match.
