Probable Best Performers of the match
Probable Best Batter: David Warner
Australia’s David Warner could be the best batter in the upcoming clash against Afghanistan. The veteran batter came into his own in the side’s previous game against Bangladesh, scoring 53 runs in 35 deliveries and his performance could be crucial against Afghanistan.
Probable Best Bowler: Adam Zampa
With a spin-favouring surface, it could be quite possible that Adam Zampa could be the best bowler for the Men in Yellow. With 18 wickets in his last 10 matches, Zampa has been in brilliant form and he will be expected to be on top of his game once more.
