Both Spencer Johnson and Ben Dwarshuis are left-armers in the Australian attack. While the latter did pick up a couple of early wickets did seem like he lost a bit of gas in the final over of the innings. Australia does have an experinced Sean Abbott warming the bench who not only is a decent bowler but also provides batting depth coming at number eight.
Spin to win
Regardless of the dew factor Afghanan continued to play with three spinning options in their clash against England and it did bear them fruits. While Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed have looked a bit off-colour in this tournament so far regardless Afghanan would be hoping the duo would get into form in the final group game and help the side qualify for the semi-final.
Head and Smith
Though the Australian batting line up did come through against England when they face Afghanan they would need their experinced players at the top to start well to negotiate the Afghan spinners. Though Jos Inglis with his ton in Sri Lanka has showed he has the game to deal with the tweaekrs but the Afghan spinners are different challenge altogether and will need a different skill-set.
