Group B in the Champions Trophy gears up for a big finish, as Australia take on Afghanistan for a spot in the final four at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today. 

Afghanistan have the chance to qualify for the semi-final stage in back-to-back Men's ICC limited-over tournaments. Having shocked the world in last year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup, Jonathan Trott's side are now just one win away from reaching the final four yet again.

HIGHLIGHTS

* Afghanistan are yet to win an ODI against six-time World Champions Australia as they lost all four contests against the Aussies. The last of their defeat was owing to a herculean 201 not out from Glenn Maxwell, who singlehandedly ensured Australia's victory in a crucial World Cup game in 2023.

* This will be the two sides' first meeting in the Champions Trophy.

* A win for Afghanistan against Australia today will confirm their spot in the semifinals.

* Australia will qualify if they win today, but having a point in hand over Afghanistan means they will also go through even if the game is washed out.
