Afghanistan is set to confront a dominant Australia in their T20 World Cup Super Eight Group 1 match this Sunday. The Afghan team, smarting from a 47-run defeat by India, is under significant pressure to secure a win and improve their Net Run Rate.

Sitting third with a NRR of -2.350, Afghanistan faces a formidable task in climbing the points table within a group that features Bangladesh among other teams. Despite Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran leading the batting efforts with 178 and 160 runs respectively, Afghanistan requires more contributions from their middle and lower-order batters.

On the bowling front, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Rashid Khan's consistent performances will be key against Australia's powerful batting lineup, led by David Warner and Travis Head. Afghanistan will need an exceptional effort to challenge Australia, who have been a dominant force in this tournament. The match promises an exciting showdown as both teams strive to make their mark.
