Afghanistan points another victory for clash in the confrontation against Australia

Looking at a semifinal place, the historic Pedigrí of Australia in the largest Crick Tournaments will not count at all when they meet an Afghanistan team that is rapidly pending their place at the upper table of the game, in the Champions Trophy here on Friday.

Based on the glow of his memorable victory over England at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday, Afghanistan has a realistic opportunity to make its second successive semifinals of a global event, less than a year after its entry into the last stage of the World Cup T20 in the Americas.

On the other hand, a victory for Australia will ensure its passage to the semifinals of the tournament while eliminating Afghanistan with a plenty of game.
