AUS vs AFG: Pitch Report
The upcoming AUS vs AFG match at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium is anticipated to be a high-scoring event. The stadium is known as a paradise for batsmen, highlighted by the impressive first innings scores in the tournament. Its short boundaries play into the hands of batters, providing ample opportunity for aggressive hitting. Looking at the history of One Day Internationals (ODIs) at this venue, there is a balanced outcome - out of 26 ODIs played here, 14 were won by teams batting first, and 12 by those chasing. The average score for the first innings is a solid 260 runs. Although traditionally teams have preferred to chase scores at Wankhede, recent matches have seen a shift, with teams batting first showing stronger performances. In the last three games, the teams that batted first had a notable advantage. Additionally, the evening games have exhibited swing and seam bowling under the stadium lights. With Mumbai's evening climate providing a respite from the daytime heat and humidity, setting a high score first and then defending it could be an attractive strategy for both Australia and Afghanistan.
AUS vs AFG: Head-To-Head ODI Record

In these matches, Australia has a perfect record with three wins, while Afghanistan has yet to secure a victory. Specifically in the context of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, the two teams have met twice, and here too, Australia has maintained a winning streak, having triumphed in both encounters.
