After the match was cancelled, lines of worry were clearly seen on captain Steve Smith’s face. Now Australia’s last group match is against Afghanistan. Steve Smith has said something big even before facing Afghanistan.
Smith revealed his fear
After the match, Smith said, we did not think that the match would be cancelled. Now the equation for the semi-finals is clear. If we win the last match against Afghanistan, we will directly reach the semi-finals, but the Afghanistan team is a dangerous team and has the ability to defeat any team. We will go with full preparation.
