AUS vs AFG Top Player Picks

David Warner (AUS)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 169 Runs in 5 Matches

Marcus Stoinis (AUS)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 156 runs and 7 wickets in 5 Matches
• The Aussie all-rounder has been in great all-round form in the tournament. Marcus Stoinis has delivered with both his trades so far and is looking to do the same in this game.

Adam Zampa (AUS)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 11 Wickets in 5 Matches
• The leg-spinner has been the trump card for the Australian team in the tournament. Adam Zampa has picked up more than one wicket in most of the games and will be one of the rewarding picks for the games.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (AFG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 178 Runs in 5 Matches

AFG vs AUS Differential Picks

Glenn Maxwell (AUS)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 53 Runs and 3 Wickets in 5 Matches
• The Australian all-rounder is struggling with the bat from the IPL 2024. However, Glenn Maxwell has a great record against Afghanistan, which makes him a rewarding pick for the game.

Fazalhaq Farooqi (AFG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 15 Wickets in 5 Matches
• The left-arm seamer has been in brilliant wicket-taking form in the tournament. However, if Travis Head and David Warner get going, Fazalhaq Farooqi might struggle to get wickets in this game. Hence, Farooqi will be a differential choice.
