Five-time champions Australia began their World Cup campaign on a terrible note as they lost both opening games—against India and South Africa, on October 8 and 12 in Chennai and Lucknow, respectively. However, Pat Cummins’s side bounced back strongly, winning all five games so far. Today, they face a spirited Afghanistan side at the Wankhede Stadium.

If Australia beat Afghanistan, they will secure a semi-final berth along with India and South Africa. And if Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan team play to potential, they will remain in contention for the semis spot.
