India may beat Australia but most importantly Afghanistan should defeat Bangladesh then only Australia will be eliminated from the tournament. Most important matches are waiting for us.
Journey till now: Afghanistan and Bangladesh
Afghanistan has come to this World Cup to break records and to make history seem. They defeated New Zealand then they defeated Australia in a low-scoring thriller and made a solid comeback their hopes are alive for the semi-finals but they need to win the last match against Bangladesh. Openers are in Midas touch so no worries about them but the middle order should improve their batting so that they can also contribute and score runs. Bowlers have impressed a lot so even this department also needs no more such attention. Fazalhaq Farooqui will be again on the radar but most importantly Gulbadin Naib can threaten more his performance against Australia was top-notch so beware batters.
Bangladesh are on the verge of elimination as they lost both the matches against India and Australia. Bangladesh haven’t performed like a team so they fell short in every department. Rishad Hoseein is the only positive who played well. Last match against India Najmul Hossein Shanto scored 40 runs rest no one supported him so they lost by 50 runs. Shakib also looked very clumsy in bowling and so did with the bat. Will Bangladesh end their campaign on a happy note?
Head-to-Head: Afghanistan and Bangladesh
Out of 11 matches, Afghanistan won 6 and Bangladesh won 5 so slightly Afghanistan has the upper hand over Bangladesh.

Pitch Report:
St.Vincent is a batting pitch so batters do have a chance to score runs but the last match when Afghanistan faced Australia low scoring thriller was seen but some run fest may collide with the ball and the forecast of rain is moderate.
