AFG vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Afghanistan v Australia predicted XI, fantasy team, squads
Afghanistan and Australia will lock horns in a high-stakes ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Group B match at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Friday.
The Aussies will look to cement their semifinal berth with a win, while Afghanistan will hope to produce another stunning performance to move closer to a spot in the last-four stage.

Afghanistan fielded the same playing XI in its first two matches, and will likely retain the team combination, which consists of the dangerous spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Noor Ahmad.
On the other hand, while Australia overhauled a massive 352-run target against archrival England, its inexperienced pace-bowling unit leaked runs. Thus, the Steve Smith-led side could look to bring in bowling all-rounder Sean Abbott, and could even make room for an extra spin option in leggie Tanveer Sangha.
