Defending champions Australia will take on with Afghanistan at Bristol County Ground in the fourth match of ICC World Cup 2019. Though there is no match of Afghanistan to Australia they can give a tough fight to Australia with confidence from their victory over Pakistan in a warm-up match.
Afghanistan may not have the arsenal to compete with Australia when it comes to batting but with the likes of Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi in their spin attack, Afghanistan will not let Australia get the match easily.
Mujeeb ur Rahman and Dawlat Zadran will have the responsibility of opening overs. Batsmen will have to put up a show in front of aggressive bowling attack and Mohammad Shahzad and Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmat Shah, Ashgar Afghan, and Hashmatullah Shahidi have a mountain to climb.
The Aussies are more stronger than before with the come back of Steve Smith and David Warner. Aaron Finch would look to attack Afghanistan's key bowlers. Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc would be a tough challenge for Afghanistan batsmen. Glenn Maxwell is the another dangerous man for Afghanistan bowlers.
