Australia is one of the teams vying for a berth in the world cup semifinals in the Super 12 stage, where we will soon learn the semi-finalists. The hosts’ path to the semifinals would not be simple since they would need to anticipate Sri Lanka to upset England in addition to a decisive victory against Afghanistan. 

For Afghanistan, getting into the semifinals is already out of the question, but they still have their pride to play for. They would want to do well and destroy the kangaroos’ prospects of qualifying. Australia defeated Ireland by 42 runs in their most recent match. The Afghans, meanwhile, suffered a six-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka in their most recent match.
