Afghanistan did not have a great start to their campaign. They lost to Bangladesh in their first match in Dharamshala. Against India, Afghanistan put on a big fight but came short in Delhi. But they created a huge upset by beating England in Delhi. The following match against New Zealand saw them lose by a huge margin in Chennai. Since then, Afghanistan has won all their last three matches by beating Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Netherlands respectively. 

On the other hand, Australia has been on a winning streak of 5 wins in a row now. The former world champions had to re-assess things after losing the first two matches of their campaign against India and South Africa respectively. Since then, Australia has won its five matches against Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Netherlands, New Zealand and England. The five-time champions need just a win to qualify for the semifinal of the tournament.

AUS vs AFG: Pitch Report

The pitch in Mumbai's Wankhede stadium has usually favoured the batters more than the bowlers. But in the latest match at the venue, the Indian bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to a total of just 55 runs. Even South Africa dismissed England to a low total. So, if there are enough runs on board, it might be difficult for the chasing sides to win the match. 

Wankhede's deck usually has some assistance for the pacers. The red soil in Mumbai makes sure that the pacers can extract something out of the pitch. Landing the seam on perfect areas would be the key. Spinners usually get some turn on the surface. Accuracy is the key for the spin bowlers. But batters will enjoy batting at the venue, as the ball comes on nicely to the bat.
