<p>AUS vs AFG: The ICC World Cup 2023 is throwing up new things every day. We have got out two semi-finalists and still, two spots are to be filled. For those 5 teams are in contention and with the things are panning out, it?s fair to say that anyone two of them can make it into the business end of the tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>AUS vs AFG: One of the top teams that is in contention for the spot in the playoffs is Afghanistan. They have played exceptional cricket in the <a href="https://www.cricketworldcup.com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricketworldcup.com">ICC World Cup 2023</a> and are 6th on the table with four wins under their belt. They have 8 points from 7 games and have two more games remaining.?</p>



<p>Afghanistan?s qualification for the semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2023 lies very much in their own hand. They will next face Australia on Tuesday (November) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. If they manage to win that game they will put one step in the semi-finals.&nbsp;</p>



<p>After that, Afghanistan needed to beat South Africa. If they win both their games they will be through without even depending on others. However, if they win only one game then they will be depending on others to make it into the next stage of the tournament.?</p>

<p>If they beat Australia or South Africa, they would then want Sri Lanka to beat New Zealand and England to beat Pakistan. If this happens, they would make it into the semi-finals. A win in AFG vs AUS&nbsp; would take them 4th on the gable with 10 points.&nbsp;</p>

AUS vs AFG: Afghanistan Qualification Scenario for the semi-finals of ICC World Cup 2023?

<p>AUS vs AFG: Afghanistan batting mentor Ajay Jadeja stole the limelight during the ongoing <a href="https://www.cricketworldcup.com/standings" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricketworldcup.com/standings">ICC World Cup 2023</a> against Australia. The 39th game of the tournament took place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and it was an absolute thriller of a game.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Amid all the seriousness and high competition there was a hilarious moment in the AUS vs AFG as well. During the Australian innings, batter Marnus Labuschagne complained about some disturbance in the Afghanistan dressing room, which was well in front of him.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As the the camera focussed on the Afghanistan dressing room after Marnus Labuschagne's complaint, Ajay Jadeja reacted hilariously. He danced in a funny way. The video of that went viral on the internet and invited a lot of funny reactions from the netizens.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here's the video:</p>

</div></figure>



<p>Ajay Jadeja?s dance probably came due the the situation of Afghanistan in the game. While defending the target of 292 runs, they had Australia at 91/7. However, after that, his joy turned into agony as Australian batter Glenn Maxwell played one of the greatest innings in ODI of all time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Glenn Maxwell slammed an unbeaten 201 runs and won Australia the game from the jaws of defeat. The Pat Cummins-led side qualified for the semi-finals as they won the game by 3 wickets. It was an unbelievable effort from the all-rounder in the AUS vs AFG game.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even though Afghanistan suffered a disappointing loss against Australia in the AUS vs AFG game, they still have a fair to chance to qualify for the semi-finals. They have their last match against South Africa. If they win he will be in contention.&nbsp;</p>



<p>After that Afghanistan would want&nbsp; Sri Lanka to beat New Zealand and England to beat Pakistan. If this happens, they would make it into the semi-finals.</p>

<p><strong>World Cup 2023 Points Table Updated: </strong>Australia goes big with six wins in as many games as they defeated Afghanistan by the barest of the margins in the last game held at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The mighty Aussies chased down 291 runs total set up by Afghanistan with three overs to spare and historic innings from all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who was tested throughout his innings. Australia's three-wicket win over Afghanistan helped them to seal a place for themselves in the semi-finals and remain firm at the third position in the World Cup 2023 Points Table, which was updated after the Australia vs Afghanistan fixture in Mumbai.</p>

Rank 1 ??10</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>The AUS vs AFG fixture began with Afghanistan showing their batting prowesses. Young opener Ibrahim Zadran scored an unbeaten 129-run knock while there were contributions from the rest of the batters as well - Hashmatullah Shahidi (26), Rahmat Shah (30), Azmatullah (22), Mohammad Nabi (12) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (21). Rashid Khan amassed a quick 18-ball 35 runs late in the innings to power his side's overall score to 291 runs in 50 overs.</p>



<p>The 291-run chase was not something that scared the Australians, who have a history of making the most of the big moments. However, Afghanistan's spin attack made their life difficult and the 291 runs score began looking daunting.</p>



<p>Australia couldn't start on a strong note with them losing Travis Head in the second over itself. David Warner and Mitchell Marsh, too, couldn't stick for long and were dismissed in the first powerplay. Soon Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglish, Marcus Stoinis and Mitchell Starc were also sent back and Australia were in complete shambles at the Wankhede Stadium at the score of 91/7.</p>



<p>The magic figure of 291 looked far-fetched at this point for the Aussies and the Afghans would have begun celebrating their victory by then. However, a Glenn Maxwell-named cyclone came near the Arabian Sea in Mumbai that blew away Afghanistan's entire bowling attack.</p>



<p>Maxwell pulled his side out of the chaos initially and again brought the innings back on track with his fine century in 76 deliveries. However, Maxwell's grit and resolute were not satisfied with his manufacturing innings, he wanted more and only a spot in the semi-finals would be worthy of satiating his will. </p>



<p>The all-rounder, after completing his century, activated his berserk mode as everything he hit went to either for a four or maximum. Afghanistan had no answers to Maxwell's fiery batting and he went on to score his unbeaten maiden double ton. Maxwell scored a sensational 201 runs knock in just 128 deliveries with the help of 21 boundaries and 10 sixes. </p>



<p>His historic innings took Australia over the rope against Afghanistan, after getting reduced to 91/7 at one point. Not to forget, Maxwell's innings was aided by skipper Pat Cummins' 12-run knock which came in 68 deliveries.</p>



<p>It is worth noting that midway through Maxwell's innings, the batter was all in pain due to cramps and had a semi-functional back. However, despite such a troublesome day in business, Maxwell's lion-hearted effort never took a backseat throughout his innings.</p>



<p>Australia won the contest against Afghanistan by three wickets and 3.1 overs to spare. Moreover, Australia confirmed a third spot in the World Cup 2023 Points Table, along with a ticket for the semi-finals.</p>

<p>While at one point it looked Afghanistan's game to secure a win, that joy was short-lived and Glenn Maxwell turned it into their sorrow. A win in this contest would have placed them in a comfortable position to qualify for the semi-finals, however, qualification scenarios have changed now and there will be a three-way clash between New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan for the fourth spot in the World Cup 2023 semi-finals.</p>



<p>The three-wicket defeat against Australia has kept Afghanistan in the sixth spot in the World Cup 2023 Points Table with eight points. Still, they have one fixture to go - against South Africa.</p>



<p>Afghanistan needs to win their last fixture and hope Pakistan and New Zealand lose their remaining games. This scenario will put Afghanistan at 10 points while the other two teams will remain at eight, hence Afghanistan will qualify for the semi-finals.</p>



<p>However, if Afghanistan, Pakistan and New Zealand manage a victory in their last fixture, or any two sides get a win, then the winning sides will be at 10 points and then the net run rate will come into the picture. </p>



<p>For perspective, Afghanistan's net run rate is the worst among the three aforementioned teams and they will have to fight it out against dominating South Africa in their last game in order to get a confirmed seat in the World Cup 2023 semi-finals.</p>

<p><strong>AUS vs AFG<span> </span><span class="OptimizedContent_highlight-fantasy__gHdRe">Dream11</span><span> </span>Prediction:<span> </span></strong><span>Steven Smith-led team Australia</span><span> will square off with Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan</span><span> today on 28th February at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore for </span><span class="OptimizedContent_highlight-event__rERQQ">match</span><span> number 10 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</span><span>. The contest is set to begin at 2:30 PM IST.</span></p>
<p>Whenever we hear Afghanistan and Australia, the first thing to strike in the mind is the miraculous innings of Glenn Maxwell in the 2023 World Cup in Mumbai. From 7 down under 91 runs in a chase of 292, Glenn Maxwell single-handedly scored 201* runs and won the game for Australia. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67c132c9cc1e9.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Months later, at the T20 World Cup in Kingstown, Afghanistan made history with a stunning upset, showcasing their rise in international cricket. Now, they face Australia again in Lahore, with a Champions Trophy semifinal spot on the line.</p>
<p>The scenario is straightforward: Australia will qualify with a win or if rain cancels the match. Afghanistan must win to secure their place. If the game is washed out, Afghanistan will move to 3 points but will need England to defeat South Africa by a big margin to stay in contention.</p>
<p>Afghanistan, famously known as the Giant-Killers, are very close to creating an impossible-looking spot from the Group B. The Australian side would be ready to take on Afghanistan for the qualification.</p>
<p>Below is the AUS vs AFG Dream11 Prediction for the 10th Match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</p>
<h2><strong>AUS vs AFG Match Details</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Tournament- </strong>ICC Champions Trophy 2025<strong><br>Match: </strong>Australia vs Afghanistan 10th Match <br><strong>Date &amp; Match Time: </strong>28th February, 02:30 PM(IST)<br><strong>Venue: </strong>Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="india-vs-england-playing-11"><strong>AUS vs AFG Probable Playing 11</strong></h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-eng-dream-11-prediction-today-match"><strong>AUS vs AFG Dream11 Prediction</strong></h2>
<p>Control over spin will play a crucial role in the contest between Australia and Afghanistan. The surface in Lahore has supported mostly pacers but spinners have played vital role, making players like Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, and Adam Zampa valuable picks for the Dream11 team.</p>
<p>However, given the high-scoring nature of the venue, including pacers like Azmatullah Omarzai and Nathan Ellis, who can thrive in high-pressure situations, will also be beneficial. Additionally, considering the forecast for light rain, having adaptable all-rounders like Glenn Maxwell and Mohammad Nabi could make a significant difference.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-eng-dream-11-team"><strong>AUS vs AFG Dream11 Team</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Wicketkeeper: </strong>Josh Inglis, Rahmanullah Gurbaz</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ekana-cricket-stadium-pitch-report-india-vs-england"><strong>Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report</strong></h2>
<p>The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has been a paradise for batters in the Champions Trophy this season, with an impressive scoring rate of 6.83 runs per over. The surface is ideal for stroke-making, offering minimal assistance to spinners. While there hasn’t been much seam movement, Pacers may extract some spongy bounce from the deck.</p>
<p>The conditions are expected to remain consistent throughout the match, making chasing a preferred option. As a result, the toss-winning team is likely to opt for bowling first.<strong><br></strong></p>

Afghanistan and Australia clash in Lahore for a Champions Trophy semifinal spot. Australia qualifies with a win or washout, while Afghanistan must win or rely on England beating South Africa convincingly.

aus-vs-afg-dream11-prediction-10th-match-champions-trophy-2025-australia-vs-afghanistan-dream11-team-gaddafi-stadium-pitch-report

<p dir="ltr"><span><strong>AUS vs AFG</strong>: Australia and Afghanistan, on hearing the names of the two teams, no comparison can be drawn between the playing stature of these two fine teams. Australia, on the other hand, is among the oldest nations to have adopted the game of cricket from the Englishmen, while Afghanistan is relatively new and started the game in the 21st century. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>However, citing brilliance not only in the 50-over format or in limited-overs cricket, Australia has been a heavyweight in the ICC events, with 6 World Cups under their belt as well as 2 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICC_Champions_Trophy" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Champions Trophies</strong></a>, while Afghanistan is playing their first-ever Champions Trophy while they have also begun to perform decently in the ODI World Cup. </span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>AUS vs AFG: A trivial list of the past 4 matches played between these two nations</span></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>1. Australia vs Afghanistan at Sharjah in 2012</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>This was the first time Australia played against Afghanistan and also just the second match for Afghanistan against a full member nation, after their first match being against Pakistan. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Batting First Australia, led by Michael Clarke, went on to put in a respectable total of 272, while Afghanistan, in an attempt to chase it down, kept losing wickets at regular intervals and was dismissed for 206 runs. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Maxwell" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Glenn Maxwell</strong></a> and Mohammed Nabi remain the only players from either team to be part of the 2025 Champions Trophy squad as well. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>2. Australia’s biggest 275-run victory over Afghanistan in World Cup 2015</span><span></span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67c13dcaa94a8.jpg" alt="David Warner's iconic 178 in World Cup 2015" width="762" height="474"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>This marked Australia and Afghanistan’s rivalry in World Cups, as in 2015 this was the first time Aussies played against the Asian underdogs in an ICC event. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Warner_(cricketer)" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>David Warner </strong></a>bamboozled all with his stunning striking of the white ball, as he scored a stunning 178 off just 133 balls. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Steven Smith’s 95 and Maxwell’s 88 off just 39 balls marked the Aussies' score of 417, while the Afghans were bowled out for just 142 runs, marking a huge defeat in the history of the World Cup. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>3. AUS vs AFG in World Cup 2019</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Another loose performance from Afghanistan in the 2019 ODI World Cup when the nation was yet to develop its sense of dominance in the longer limited-overs format. Australia chased down a minor target of 208 runs, with skipper Finch and David Warner all scoring half-centuries, while Glenn Maxwell once again finished it off in style with a boundary on the first ball he faced. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>4. The Maxwell masterclass in World Cup 2023</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67c13e6a008e8.jpg" alt="Glenn Maxwell's iconic double-century to win" width="800" height="498"></span><span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The World Champions Australia’s all hopes would have been shattered that very day if they had lost the neck-and-neck thriller against Afghanistan in the ODI World Cup of 2023, where the men in yellow lifted their 6th World title. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>All thanks to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujeeb_Ur_Rahman" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mujeeb ur Rehman Zadran</strong></a>, who dropped a simple catch of Glenn Maxwell when Australia was 102 for 7, as Maxwell, alongside Pat Cummins, batted throughout the innings and went on to score a terrific 201* with a limp foot as they showered sixes all around the park. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Cummins, the skipper, played a hand of 12 of just 68 balls, while Maxwell’s iconic 128-ball double-century was enough to take Aussie over the line to a famous victory. </span></p>
