Afghanistan vs Australia Team Analysis
Afghanistan
This is expected to be a tough game for Afghanistan. They made a good start to the tournament by playing against the likes of Uganda, PNG, and New Zealand beating them all and losing to West Indies.
They then lost to India as well in their first Super 8 match. Against Australia, they have played just one game and lost one and hence this is going to be their most stiff test.
Australia
The Aussies are still unbeaten in the tournament. They have dominated every opposition they have played against till now and won the matches with authority.
They started with a win over Bangladesh. They are likely to win against Afghanistan which leaves them with a crucial match against India which will be their final Super 8 match. The side looks good ahead of this game.
Afghanistan vs Australia Key Factors
Pitch Conditions
160 has been a match-winning score at the Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown in St Vincent. The venue has hosted eight T20Is to date and three matches so far.
There were two good matches played between Bangladesh and Netherlands and Nepal and South Africa. Afghanistan play two games at this venue against Australia and Bangladesh.
Form and Fitness
There are no injury concerns from both teams. Form-wise the Afghanistan bowlers look to be in better form than their batters. Twice now against West Indies and India, their batters have failed to give the start to the team that was expected of them.
Australia, on the other hand, looks a very confident unit from the wins that they have mustered so far in the tournament.
Tactical Acumen
Rashid Khan and Mitchel Marsh are fairly young captains. But Australia's overall leadership quality and the current form of the players is what might decide the game in their favor. Afghan spinners need to be at their best if they are to challenge the Aussies.
