***Official***Match #39- Australia vs Afghanistan - November 7th - Wankhede, Mumbai (D/N)

I'd say 90/10 in favor of Oz right now, if there's no dew it could be go down to 70/30 as well but Oz massive favourites.

The way most teams other than India have gone chasing under lights in this WC so far I think I would have my money on Afghanistan winning this.

At the very least it should be a tough run chase.

Marnus and to a lesser extent Inglis aside, none of the other blokes in this line up are very good at rotating the strike. They are more block or bash merchants. Well Maxwell could farm the strike but he often decides not to and I can't see that changing today. This ploy may not work against good spinners

They'll be pretty pleased they beat England in the last game otherwise they'd be sitting bricks

This is why chasing in WC is hard, and anyone who says batting first vs second in KO is equal needs to watch the games more closely!
IPL effect where everyone chases which is totally irrelevant for this competition as Buttler has learned the hard way.
