In the ongoing ODI World Cup, Afghanistan (AFG) and Australia (AUS) will play their 39th match. The game is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 7, at Wankhede Stadium.

Afghanistan is presently ranked sixth in the ODI World Cup points table, having won three straight games against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands. The team captained by Hashmatullah Shahidi will aim to win their next match in order to fight for semi-final qualification.

But the team captained by Pat Cummins pulled off an incredible turnaround, winning five straight to establish themselves in the top half of the standings. They can guarantee their place in the competition’s semi-final by winning the next game.
