A win for Australia would seal their semifinal spot in the competition. Even if the reigning world champions suffer a shock loss in the upcoming game, they will be in contention for a semifinal spot. However, their fate will depend on the game between South Africa and England.
Australia Playing 11 vs Afghanistan - ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Match 10:
The Australia Playing 11 is set to have Matthew Short and Travis Head as the two openers. The opening batsmen began their Champions Trophy campaign in a contrasting fashion.
However, his partner Head failed to make a strong start to his campaign. One of the best batsmen in the world at present, the left-handed batsman managed to score only 6 runs before being dismissed by Jofra Archer. He will be eyeing a big score in the upcoming game against Afghanistan.
Middle-order batters and allrounders: Steven Smith (c), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (wk), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell
Marnus Labuschagne made useful contributions with both bat and ball. With the ball, he picked up 2 wickets before scoring 47 runs and is expected to retain his spot in the Australia Playing 11.
Maxwell had a good game as well. The Australia allrounder picked up the crucial wicket of Jos Buttler. With the bat, he scored an unbeaten 32 off just 15 balls to help his team chase down the big total with ease.
Bowlers: Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson
The bowling lineup in the Australia Playing 11 is unlikely to be changed after the win over England. Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, and Spencer Johnson are set to be the three pacers in the Australia Playing 11 while Adam Zampa will be leading the spin attack.
