Australia’s second match against Afghanistan in the Super 8 clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 is a game of high stakes. For Afghanistan, who have already lost one match against India, this game is crucial. Australia, starting the Super 8 on a winning note, faces a more challenging competition. With Afghanistan’s formidable bowling attack and Australia’s strong batting, the match promises a thrilling display of how the teams will incorporate their strengths to clinch victory.
Let’s discuss the three Australians to watch out for in the clash against Afghanistan:
1. David Warner

David Warner is playing his last World Cup tournament and is not ready to give up yet. Each time he comes to bat, a different aura and confidence is seen in the left-handed batter. He strikes the ball magnificently and attacks any bowler who comes in his way. The kind of timing he has with the bat is beyond description. Hence, he’s definitely the player to watch out for in the upcoming match.
2. Pat Cummins

While Pat Cummins rested in the first few matches, his return is nothing short of a lesson for the world. He is an incredible player, and there’s no doubt about it. In the previous match against Bangladesh, he destroyed the team with his hat trick, which was quite pleasing to watch. However, he might not take another hat trick in the upcoming match, but he will surely play well since he’ll be carrying the confidence with him.
3. Travis Head

Travis Head is another X-factor of Australia who fires in all kinds of situations. Even though he opens the innings along with Warner, he’s been consistent with the bat and scores runs in every match. He does not show much aggression on the field or create any drama. He simply comes, performs with the bat, and leaves. This shows the kind of understanding he has about the game which has made him successful.
