AUS vs AFG: Australia will lock horns against Afghanistan in Match 38 of the ICC T20 World Cup, 2022 on Friday, November 4, 2022, at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide.
Australia has managed to win two matches out of the four they played with their one fixture against England being washed out. They are currently placed in the third spot of the Group 1 standings. They outclassed Ireland by 42 runs in their most recent fixture and must be looking to carry on their winning momentum.
As for Afghanistan, nothing has gone their way in this edition of the T20 World Cup as they become the first team to get eliminated from the tournament. They are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table with two defeats and two abandoned matches. They lost their last match against Sri Lanka by six wickets and must be looking to finish the season on a high.
Australia is the clear favourite heading into this game, given their form, superior firepower in batting, and fiery bowling attack. However, Mohammad Nabi & Co. will look to salvage some pride and spoil the game for the hosts. Either way, a cracker of a game beckons at Adelaide on Friday.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for Match 38 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, 2022.

AUS vs AFG Pitch Report
The pitch at Adelaide has been a balanced one so far in this tournament. There should be some swing early on for the quick bowlers, who will be key in the powerplay. The pitch could even out as the game progresses, however, there will be some turn-on offer for the spinners.
Since the track record of the team batting first has been incredible at this venue, whoever wins the toss will definitely look to bowl first. Anything around 160-180 will be the competitive total here.
