Match Preview
In the next ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 clash, Australia will take on Afghanistan in an exciting fixture. The match is set to take place on Sunday, June 23 (IST), at the Arnos Vale Stadium in St. Vincent. Afghanistan will head into the game on the back of a defeat against India in their first Super 8 clash. On the other hand, Australia registered a win in their last Super 8 fixture against Bangladesh.
A win in the upcoming match will keep Afghanistan’s hopes alive in the tournament whereas Australia can book their semifinal spot.
Toss Prediction
Australia have clashed against Afghanistan only once in the T20 format so far. In that game, the Afghanistan skipper won the toss. Considering this, we think Afghan skipper Rashid Khan would once again get lucky and win the toss over Australia’s skipper Mitchell Marsh to extend his toss tally 2-0.
Win Possibility
Australia have been unbeaten in the tournament and all players have been in excellent form thus far. Veteran batter David Warner has been in his best form, scoring runs consistently, whereas Travis Head continues to destroy bowlers. Names like Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, and skipper Mitchell Marsh add firepower to the unit. Speaking of the bowlers, names like Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, and Adam Zampa have been lethal and look absolutely formidable.
Afghanistan, on the flip side, delivered brilliant performances in the group stage and maintained a momentum. However, their run was paused with losses against West Indies and India, which they would want to get back. While names like Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran have given crucial performances, others including Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib, and Mohammad Nabi need to contribute more.
Needless to say, the Afghans will look forward to avenging their ODI World Cup 2023 defeat, but Australia are a much more powerful team, and highly likely to clinch victory.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The upcoming Super 8 contest between Afghanistan and Australia will be played at the Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent. The venue has hosted 5 T20I matches so far and has an average first-inning score of 133. Considering this, we think the first-inning score of the game could be around 150-160 and the powerplay score could hover around 42-47.
