Coming to the match between Australia and Afghanistan, the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led opted to bat first after winning the toss. They have produced a decent batting performance and keep their hopes alive in the tournament.
Ibrahim Zadran has smashed a staggering century and is looking set for a big knock. Apart from him, Rahmat Shah (30), Hashmatullah Shahidi (26), Azmatullah Omarzai (22), and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (21) have made handy contributions.
Afghanistan would be hoping to go past 270 runs and then put pressure on the opposition with the ball. They are very much in contention for the semi-finals. Australia on the other hand just needs one win to progress to the further stage of the tournament.
AUS vs AFG: Virat Kohli Equals Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most centuries in the ODIs
Virat Kohli scripted the history as he equaled Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most centuries in the ODIs. The batter slammed his 49th century in India’s recent game against South Africa in the ICC World Cup 2023.
Virat Kohli is the leading second run-getter in the ICC World Cup 2023. He has slammed over 530 runs in 8 innings and with the way he’s batting, it won’t be a surprise if he ends up breaking the record of Sachin Tendulkar. He will be next seen in action when India takes on the Netherlands on 12th November.
