Australia and Afghanistan will play the 39th game of the 2023 Cricket World Cup. The Australians and Afghans are currently in third and sixth place in the ten-man ranking of the tournament.

In the 39th match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Australia will face Afghanistan at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday. Australia, which has won the trophy five times, is in excellent form and sits third in the table. Afghanistan are in sixth place but are also in good form and are only two points behind their opponents in this game. The day-night ODI will begin at 2:00 p.m. local time.

Australia were not at their best on Saturday but still had more than enough to beat 2019 cricket world champions England. It will be a very different competition against a confident Afghan team, but Australia should have the quality required to win in Mumbai.

Afghanistan's four wins in this tournament have been by wide margins, but they would settle for a narrow win against Australia. Hashmatullah Shahidi's side will use the attacking option in this game and could well cause Australia a lot of problems.

Head to Head

Venue Details

The venue for this match is the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. While the average 1st innings score in ODIs here is 247 runs, we reckon that the team batting first should look for a total of 300+ runs. Anything below that or even around 300-320 can be hunted at this venue.

Match Prediction

A win for Afghanistan in this game would bring them level on points with Australia and take them straight into qualification for the semi-finals. However, Australia have been playing some brilliant cricket in recent weeks and will be expecting to reach the final of this tournament. We expect Afghanistan to make things uncomfortable for Australia in both innings, but overall and with players like Adam Zampa and David Warner in such good form, we are backing Australia to win.

Top Fantasy Picks Dream11 Prediction

Australia Key Players

Marnus Labuschagne – The right-hander is likely to lose a position in the batting lineup with the return of Mitchell Marsh. However, with 71 runs against England on Saturday, he showed that he is still vital to this team.

Adam Zampa – The spinner put in an all-round performance to have the entire cricket world watching against England. He hit 29 runs off 19 balls before taking 3/21 from 10 overs with the ball.

Pat Cummins – The skipper has found consistency in his ODI bowling throughout this tournament, picking up the crucial wickets of Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone in the last game.

Afghanistan Key Players

Hashmatullah Shahidi - The captain will relish the opportunity to lead his side against Australia and he provides consistency without throwing away his wicket at number four in the batting order.

Rashid Khan - The world-class leg-spinner went wicketless against the Netherlands on Friday but was brilliantly accurate, conceding just 31 runs from 10 overs.

Fazalhaq Farooqi – The 23-year-old left-arm fast bowler managed 4/34 in Pune just two games ago and we expect him to make the most of this pitch in Mumbai.
