Afghanistan win toss, opt to bat first against Australia

Afghanistan have won the toss and elected to bat first against Australia in an important game of ICC Champions Trophy’s Group B.

Whoever wins this match will qualify for the semi-finals.

After the toss, Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah said that they try to score more runs and spinners will be helpful for us. We have talked about the mistakes we have made and there is no change in the team, he added.

On the other hand, Australian captain Steve Smith said that hopefully there will be a good competition and there is no change in the team.

It should be noted that if Afghanistan loses today’s match, they will be out of the event, but if Australia loses, they will not be out of the race for the semi-finals and they will have to wait for the match between England and South Africa on Saturday.

Australia and South Africa still have 3 points each, but the run rate is better than Africa. Afghanistan is in third place with 2 points.
