Afghanistan vs Australia live stream: How to watch T20 World Cup 2024 online

Afghanistan vs Australia at Arnos Vale Playing Field, Kingstown in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines could decide the two semi finalists from this group ahead of the final round of games.

If Australia win – and they have won five out of five so far this tournament – it would mean that they and India will have qualified for the semi finals ahead of their meeting on Monday. But if Afghanistan win, then this would mean that any of the four teams could still qualify.

Put in to bat, Afghanistan have made 148-6.

Follow our guide below for where to watch Afghanistan vs Australia ICC T20 World Cup 2024 live streams from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.

It is only the second time these teams have met in T20 cricket. Eight players from either side from that previous meeting, which was at the last T20 World Cup, could well be lining up against one another again.

Australia won that encounter by four runs, having made 168-8 on the back of Glenn Maxwell’s 54 off 32 balls. Afghanistan collapsed from 99-2 to 103-6, whereupon Rashid Khan came in and his unbeaten 48 of 23 balls took Afghanistan so close to a target that had seemed to be slipping well beyond their reach.

Afghanistan have never beaten the Aussies – they have not played test cricket against them and all four of their one-day international meetings have been won by Australia. Australia are ranked second in the world in T20 cricket and Afghanistan are ranked 10th, a place above Ireland and two above Scotland.

Australia start overwhelming favourites, but Afghanistan can take inspiration from how close Scotland pushed Australia earlier in the competition.
