AFG vs AUS T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Live Updates: A stern test awaits Afghanistan as they take on a rampant Australia in their T20 World Cup Super 8 Group 1 clash here on Sunday.
Coming off a 47-run thrashing at the hands of India, Afghanistan will be under pressure not just to record a win but also to improve their Net Run Rate which took a severe hit after the loss in their first Super Eight game.
Afghanistan are placed third with an NRR of -2.350 and it will be an uphill task for them to improve that as well as move up in the points table in a group which also has Bangladesh.
The two teams last met in the ODI World Cup in 2023. It was in Mumbai where Glenn Maxwell had played a once-in-a-generation knock to notch up a sensational double hundred while battling cramps all over his body, with Pat Cummins in tow who provided sturdy support from the other end.
Afghanistan would certainly be motivated to exact revenge for that loss in a format wherein they feel most comfortable and have the skills and mindset to excel but it remains to be seen if Rashid’s side can execute their plans to perfection.
AFG VS AUS Head To Head
Afghanistan and Australia have squared off in just one T20I match in the past. That fixture saw Australia escape with a narrow four-run victory at Adelaide in November 2022.
