Australia have been red-hot, unbeaten and look very much balanced going into the fixture. So far, they have played five games and have won all five.
On the other hand, Afghanistan have been impressive, and managed to qualify for the Super Eights from the group stage, beating New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Uganda. However, they lost to India and will be desperate for points against Australia.
