What channel is Australia v Afghanistan Cricket World Cup 2023 match on? TV coverage, live stream and UK time
Check out how to watch Australia v Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023, including TV and radio coverage, UK time and our key player to watch.
Afghanistan take on Australia at the Wankhede stadium in Chennai, where a win for the Aussies will confirm their place in the semi-finals.
In all honesty, this is a bigger match for Afghanistan than it is for Australia. The Afghans fine run of form, scoring three wins in a row, sees them in contention for the semi-finals but in must-win territory.
The final semi-final spot is currently in the hands of New Zealand, who, as long as they beat Sri Lanka later this week, will be all but assured of taking the last spot, but Afghanistan and Pakistan are ready to pick up any scraps.
Australia, meanwhile, can afford to lose this match, and even their next game against Bangladesh too, and still end up in the final four.
Australia should be boosted by the returns of Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh, both of whom returned to training after missing the Aussies previous fixture against England due to concussion and personal reasons respectively. However, they could be without Steve Smith, who has been suffering with vertigo.

Australia v Afghanistan key player to watch
The spinners (Afghanistan)
Arguably the strongest spin attack in the competition, Afghanistan’s three, and occasionally even four-man spin attack will be the biggest threat to Australia’s batting line-up. Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Noor Ahmad will pose a particular threat at the Wankhede Stadium, with the pitch in Chennai known for spinning prodigiously.
