THE LOWDOWN
AUSTRALIA
Coach: Andrew McDonald
Captain: Pat Cummins
- Australia came out on top against bitter rivals England, their fifth successive group stage win and leaves them needing just to beat Afghanistan to guarantee their qualification for the semi-finals.
- Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh are expected to return to the starting XI in place of fellow all-rounders Cameron Green and Marcus Stoinis, who filled in for the pair against England.
AFGHANISTAN
Coach: Jonathan Trott
Captain: Hashmatullah Shahidi
- Afghanistan’s third consecutive win keeps them right in the mix to finish in the top four of the group and a win here would take them onto 10 points from eight games alongside Australia.
- Their latest victory came over Netherlands, who were bowled out for 179 in an innings which included four Afghanistan run outs, before Hashmatullah Shahidi’s side chased 180 down for the loss of just three wickets.
THE PREDICTION
Afghanistan head into this match full of belief that they can pull off what would be their most impressive win of the group stage so far. But this Australia team’s relentless batting firepower is a huge level up from the likes of Pakistan and Netherlands. On a notoriously good batting surface in Mumbai, expect the quality of Australia’s top order to bat Afghanistan out of the game and ultimately end up on a winning side, a securing their place in the last four.
BETTING TIP: AUSTRALIA TO WIN
