Australia vs Afghanistan Playing 11, ICC World Cup 2023: AUS vs AFG Probable Lineup, Team News and Injury Update

Australia and Afghanistan will have eyes on the semifinal as they take on each other on Tuesday (November 7) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Australia have won five matches in a row while the Afghans are also on the back of three consecutive wins. A solitary victory in the last two matches will ensure the five-time champions a semifinal spot, while Afghanistan would have to win both of their last two remaining games.

Australia vs Afghanistan Team News, Injury Update

Australia will miss the services of Mitchell Marsh, who left the squad for personal reasons a few days ago. They made two changes in the last match and bode pretty well for them. For this match, we can expect the same team from the last match to continue. And if the Aussie think tank decide to change something, we may witness Glenn Maxwell coming in place of Cameron Green.

Afghanistan are currently flying with three victories and their squad has been largely injury-free thus far. It is to be seen how they cope with the Australia challenge, but they are poised to play the same team from last match.
