Analysis
Afghanistan batting lineup has struggled in the last couple of matches in the T20 World Cup 2024, failing under the pressure of chasing down bit totals against West Indies and India. The bowling attack wasn’t at its best either in these two matches, despite the quality spells from the captain Rashid Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqi, who will be feeling the pressure of finding consistency match after match, which is far from easy.
Meanwhile, the Australian openers Travis Head and David Warner have found their touch in the critical phase of the T20 World Cup 2024, chasing down a below par total with ease against Bangladesh in their previous match. Adam Zampa is the biggest strength in the Australian bowling lineup currently, while the experienced trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins have complimented him exceptionally well in the tournament too.
