Afghanistan, meanwhile, has a genuine prospect of succeeding. They have four victories in seven contests.
We now offer the duel’s statistics preview.
Examining the record head-to-head
Only twice in ODI World Cups have the two teams faced one other (in 2015 and 2019).
As expected, Australia recorded decisive victories in both cases.
The only other time the two teams have faced off in ODIs was in 2012.
That game was also won by the Men in Yellow.
Afghanistan has never won an international cricket match against Australia.
