Australia will take on Afghanistan in T20 World Cup 2022 on Friday looking to keep their hopes alive of making it to the semifinals of the tournament. The hosts are currently level on five points each with Englan and New Zealand in Group A, but they to win by a big margin against Afghanistan to finish in the top two positions.
League leaders New Zealand are also in action earlier in the day, so their result will also have a huge impact on the final standings of this Group, but ultimately it will all boil down to Aaron Finch and Co-producing a result against Mohammad Nabi’s side.
The Afghans came into this tournament with the reputation of dark horses but have failed to win a single match in the tournament so far, and will be hoping to bow out on a high.
