Afghanistan, who knocked out England, will hope to topple Australia this time around, having come close to beating them in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at Wankhede, where Glenn Maxwell’s double-hundred helped his side notch a historic victory. Afghanistan will once again rely on their spinners to stop their opponents in their tracks, but will also need to ensure they do not get complacent.

On the other hand, Australia led by Steve Smith, will hope to reach the semifinals of the competition, having last tasted Champions Trophy success back in 2009. Despite having a depleted side, Australia have been exceptional on the field with a mix of both the experienced and newbies performing well.
