AUS vs AFG T20 WC 2022 Preview & Dream 11 Prediction Australia vs Afghanistan| All You Need To Know – 04th November 2022
It’s the last Super 12 game for both these sides today in the 2022 T20 World Cup and one of them is still fighting to qualify.
We’re talking about the hosts Australia who unfortunately had one washed out game and one loss to New Zealand at the start of the Super 12 stage, now with 2 wins in 4 games and a net run rate below England and New Zealand. So, a big win is a necessity for Australia today.
This game takes place in Adelaide after the New Zealand vs Ireland game where the former will also be looking at winning to qualify to the semi finals.
Here, the Aussies take on Afghanistan and while they have been giant killers in the past, they’ve been a bit cold this competition, not really giving it their best right through.

Numbers
Head to head in T20Is, these two haven’t played.
At this ground – Adam Zampa has 6 wickets in 2 games.
Australia
If you look at past T20Is at the Adelaide Oval, Adam Zampa is the highest wicket-taker here with two 3-fers in just two games here. We’re picking him in our AUS vs AFG fantasy team even though Afghanistan tends to play spin well. With the new ball, Cummins and Hazlewood have gone for runs in a few games and that’s why we’d prefer picking Mitchell Starc who likes playing ICC events anyway, and was on top of his game against Ireland also.
Australia will be sweating on the fitness of both Aaron Finch and Tim David, which means replacements could be ready in the form of Cameron Green and Steven Smith. If you wait till the toss before picking your AUS vs AFG Dream11 team and Green is playing, pick him as he’s been in great touch, doing really well in the recent series against India too. He bowls too and could even be your fantasy captain or vice-captain.
Afghanistan
Spin wizard Rashid Khan had some injury worries but he has been declared fit and while he’s gone ten innings without a T20 3-fer, this is his hoe ground playing for the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash, so there are plenty of expectations from him in this game. And since the pitch seems to be supportive to spinners, we might as well add Mujeeb Rahman to our team, since the Afghani pacers have been below par this tournament.
Someone who could be a massive contributor is Ibrahim Zadran because he’s got a great technique and he likes to get a move on, so the added pace on the bat may help him score quick runs. Brought into the side in the last game.
