Analysis
With the return of Travis Head at the top of the order, in partnership with David Warner, Australia has managed to take the attack to the opposition from the get-go in the ODI World Cup 2023, helping the likes of Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, and the rest, to consolidate the innings in the middle to death overs. On the bowling side of things, Adam Zampa has been by far the pick of the bowlers for the Aussies, while the captain Pat Cummins has gotten better with his performances as the flagship tournament has gone on.
Meanwhile, the top five of Rahmanullah, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, the captain Hashmatullah Shahidi, and Azmatullah Omarzai have controlled the batting of Afghanistan magnificently in the recent matches of the ODI World Cup 2023. The spin attack of the Afghans, including the likes of Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Noor Ahmad, has been picking up wickets for the team regularly too.
