Australia vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details for Match 38

Australia will lock horns with Afghanistan in the 38th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.

Australia are in a spot of bother despite winning two out of their last three fixtures. They will have to win their last Super 12 fixture against Afghanistan comprehensively to stand a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. They are coming off a convincing 42-run win over Ireland in their last game.

After being asked to bat first, Aaron Finch (63) and Marcus Stoinis (35) took their side to 179/5 in 20 overs. The bowlers then stepped up and knocked over the Irish side on 137.

Afghanistan, meanwhile, have already been knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2022. They have been very unlucky in this competition as two of their four fixtures were washed out due to rain. They lost the other two, with their second loss coming against Sri Lanka by six wickets in their last outing.

Batting first, the Afghans managed to score 144/8 at the end of their 20 overs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz top-scored with 28 for them at the top of the order. Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman picked up two wickets each but it wasn’t enough as they failed to defend the total.
