Australia to survive a scare
Australia know that a victory here will all but seal their route through to the semi-final of the World Cup, with the Aussies overcoming a poor start to the campaign that saw them lose their opening two matches. Five victories in a row has left them in pole position to advance to the final four.
Not many people gave Afghanistan much of a chance heading into the tournament but they’ve blown everyone away with impressive wins over Sri Lanka, Pakistan and England. If they were to pull off another victory against Australia, they would leapfrog New Zealand into the top four.
Australia are, rightly, favourites ahead of the match and whilst they should pick up the win they need, it might not be all plain sailing for the team from down under.
