Australia vs Afghanistan FREE Live Streaming, Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 39: In a match that can either confirm Australia's spot in the semis or a chance for Afghanistan to qualify for the very first time in the history of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup, the Aussies will be taking on the Afghans on Tuesday, November 7, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both teams had a shaky start to the campaign but bounced back to make some great comebacks. Australia needs just one win to confirm its spot in the semi-finals. Afghanistan, on the other hand, has been one of the best underdog stories in the history of the ODI World Cup; a win in this match will give them a great chance of qualifying for the semis. However, it will be a Herculean task for the Afghans to get the job done against the Aussies. But Afghanistan did manage to get a win over defending champions England and Pakistan in this tournament, and we can't shrug these facts aside ahead of this fixture.

Afghanistan is playing a fearless brand of cricket at the moment. A team that registered just one win in all the previous ODI World Cups they were part of is, now enjoying a four-win run in this campaign, along with a chance to qualify for the semi-finals for the very first time. Their maturity and consistency with the bat have helped the Afghans win their last three matches while chasing the target. Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi (282 runs), along with Rahmat Shah (264 runs), Azmatullah Omarzai (234 runs), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (234 runs), and Ibrahim Zadran (232 runs), have been consistent and batted quite well, adapting to the situation in the match. The Afghan spinners have done most of the heavy lifting, getting important breakthroughs in most of the matches. Their pacers are still the only issue at the moment, as they are still unable to be impactful with the new ball.  

Australia's strengths and weaknesses:

Australia is on a roll at the moment. After a bad start, they bounced back well with five consecutive wins and just one win away from the semis. Their opening batters, David Warner and Travis Head, have been firing from the very first ball, giving the Aussies some great starts. Their middle orders are still not performing as they expect them to, with Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne having just three fifties among each other in seven matches. On the other hand, their bowling department has been performing like a unit. Adam Zampa is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament and is having a great run on the Indian pitches. The pacer trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and captain Pat Cummins are also in great form at the moment and can cause a lot of trouble for the Afghan batters.
