39th Match: DN Wankhede November 07 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup
Afghanistan Pull Off Stunning Upset Against Australia
Australia's Middle Order Shines Despite Maxwell's Absence
Despite the absence of star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, Australia's middle order has been in impressive form at the ICC Cricket World Cup. Between positions 4-7, the Aussies have struck at a rate of 168.09, the highest among all 20 teams in the tournament.
This has been a key factor in Australia's success so far, with the team winning three of their four matches. Skipper Aaron Finch has been in excellent touch at the top of the order, while Steve Smith, Matthew Wade, and Marcus Stoinis have all contributed valuable runs in the middle.
Maxwell is expected to return to the side for the knockout stages, but his absence has not been a major hindrance to Australia's progress. The team's depth in batting has allowed them to absorb his loss without compromising their overall performance.
Australia will be looking to continue their winning ways in their upcoming match against Afghanistan. The match will be played at the DN Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on November 7, 2023.
