Afg vs Aus 10th Match Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win Today?
Afghanistan will face the uphill task of beating Australia in Match 10 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This game will be in Lahore on 28th February 2025. Here is a look at the Afg vs Aus predictions, the pitch report, and the players to watch-out for during the game.
AUS vs AFG Preview
Afghanistan and Australia’s rivalry has been good lately. With Maxwell’s double hundred in WC23 and Afghanistan’s surprise win in the 2024 World T20 over Australia, this rivalry guarantees another thriller this time.
Afghanistan are more motivated than ever to beat Australia. Aussies have boycotted playing bilateral series against Afghanistan due to the political and women cricket issues in Afghanistan. Moreover, Aussies have a weaker side this time. With injured senior players and messed up planning, this can be the best opportunity for Afghanistan to beat the Kangaroos.
For Australia, facing the spin attack of Afghanistan on a spin friendly Lahore wicket will be challenging. Although, recent records show that big scores can be scored at this venue, still, there will be some help for the spinners. Aussie would be counting on Adam Zampa to deliver well in this game.

This can be a 50-50 call. If there is no dew, bowling second can be a good option as the ball will turn more in the second innings. If there is dew predicted, it is wiser to bowl first.
Gaddafi Stadium Lahore Records
Afghanistan have never won an ODI at Gaddafi Stadium. They have suffered 2/2 defeats. Australia have a 50/50 record with 5 wins and 5 defeats at this venue. Australia do not have pleasant memories here as they lost the ODI series against Pakistan recently in 2022.
Players to Watch-Out For
| Players | Team | Role | Recent Form |
| Rashid Khan | Afghanistan | Spin bowling all rounder | Good |
| Azmatullah Omarzai | Afghanistan | All rounder | Excellent |
| Steven Smith | Australia | Captain & Batter | Decent |
| Adam Zampa | Australia | Spinner | Decent |
Rashid Khan and Adam Zampa will be key for their respective sides because of the spin friendly conditions. Rashid’s role remains very important because not a lot of Aussie batsmen are technically solid at this point, hence they can struggle against quality spin bowling. Zampa has always been a trump card for Australia, hence he can cause problems too.
Steven Smith, the stand-in captain in the absence of Cummins will have a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. He will have to bat well. Omarzai, the ICC ODI Cricketer of the year 2024, will have to contribute with both bat and ball to help Afghanistan manage this uphill challenge.
