AUS vs AFG Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022, Match 38

The 38th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 will see Afghanistan (AFG) take on Australia (AUS) at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Friday, November 4. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the AUS vs AFG Dream11 prediction.

After a tough start to their T20 World Cup campaign, Australia have bounced back with two wins in as many completed games. However, they still find their backs up against the wall, having to play catch-up to New Zealand and England due to having an inferior net run rate (NRR). Although the trio of Aaron Finch, Tim David, and Marcus Stoinis are doubtful for the clash, Australia will start as the clear favorites.

Afghanistan, meanwhile, remain the only team in the World Cup to have not won a single match. Despite boasting a strong bowling attack, Afghanistan have just not clicked as a unit. But with the likes of Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi having BBL experience under their belts, Afghanistan will be keen on ending their campaign on a high with a surprise win.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (34 matches, 866 runs, SR: 137.24)

Rahmanullah Gurbaz showed signs of returning to form in the previous game, scoring a 24-ball 28. He has been quite effective in the shortest format, striking at 137.24 with five fifties in 34 innings. With Gurbaz capable of scoring all over the ground, he is a top pick in your AUS vs AFG Dream11 prediction team.

Top Batter Pick

David Warner (98 matches, 2869 runs, Average: 32.98)

David Warner has just not fired in the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup. However, he is an experienced campaigner, having played nearly a 100 games in this format. He has a fairly decent record at the Adelaide Oval, scoring 147 runs in just three T20Is. With Warner due for a big score, he is a must-have in your AUS vs AFG Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Glenn Maxwell (13 off 9 and 2/14 in the previous match vs Ireland)

Glenn Maxwell has been decent in his last two matches, scoring 36 runs and picking up three wickets. He has a T20I strike rate of 150.57 and has consistently been used as the sixth-bowling option. With Maxwell capable of scoring big runs in the top order, he is a handy addition to your AUS vs AFG Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Fazalhaq Farooqi (16 matches, 19 wickets, Average: 21.16)

Fazalhaq Farooqi is Afghanistan's best pace option, picking up 19 wickets at an average of 21.16. The left-arm seamer is known for his ability to swing the ball effectively in the powerplay and can hold his own in the death as well. With Farooqi likely to enjoy the conditions, he is a good pick in your AUS vs AFG Dream11 prediction team.

AUS vs AFG match captain and vice-captain choices

Josh Hazlewood

Josh Hazlewood is one of the premier bowlers in this format, picking up 56 wickets in 40 matches. He is averaging just 20.5 with an economy rate of 7.67 to his name. With Hazlewood in decent form coming into the game, he could be a viable captaincy option in your AUS vs AFG Dream11 prediction team.

Najibullah Zadran

Najibullah Zadran is yet to fire in the T20 World Cup this year. The southpaw averages 31.8 in this format with a strike rate of 142.22. He is a fairly good player of spin and can take on the pacers as well. With Najibullah due for a big score, he could be a good choice as captain or vice-captain in your AUS vs AFG Dream11 prediction team.
