The Afghanistan vs Australia match in the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 has become a virtual quarterfinal. Ahead of the game, there are talks about Glenn Maxwell vs Afghanistan, thanks to what he did in the 2023 World Cup. Meanwhile, the winner of this match will advance to the semis and a lot of fans feel that Maxwell could come in between Afghanistan’s race to the semis.
However, as per the statement from AFG skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi ahead of the game, the team isn’t focused on only one player. However, the three-time World Cup winner for Australia has troubled the Asian side before.
