Australia and Afghanistan go head to head in the T20 World Cup 2022 Super 8 game in Kingstown, St Vincent on Sunday, June 23 from 6 am IST. The two teams have met in T20Is just once before.

Very famously the two teams met in the ICC World Cup 2023 match where Glenn Maxwell won Australia the match single-handedly from a potentially losing position. That match has possibly started quite the rivalry between the two teams in ICC events.

Australia are still unbeaten in the tournament along with India. So far they have beaten, Oman, England, Namibia, Scotland, and Bangladesh. The side has not been tested enough so far apart from the match against England where they dominated England. Afghanistan needs to play very well to do the unthinkable which is to beat the Aussies.

Afghanistan, so far has faced teams like Uganda, New Zealand, PNG, West Indies, and India. They created history by beating the Kiwis but lost rather badly to India and West Indies. Skipper Rashid Khan has to bring out some tricks from his captaincy hat to beat the Aussies.

The side's real test will happen in the Super 8s. They have already lost to India. A loss against Australia will lessen their chances of making it to the semi-finals of the tournament.

They can manage a win against Bangladesh but that will not be enough for them to get to the next stage. They lost rather poorly against India and need to make a quick turnaround as they are set to play Australia.
