Rain is forecast in Lahore but even a washout will keep Afghanistan in contention to reach the semi-finals, but they will then have to depend on other results or net run-rate.
Australia have in recent years refused to play bilateral series against Afghanistan, citing discomfort at an ongoing Taliban crackdown on women's sport.
Cummins registered a hat-trick over two overs against Bangladesh on Thursday and the right-armer completed the feat once again against Afghanistan when he had Rashid Khan, Karim Janat and Gulbadin Naib dismissed with three consecutive deliveries.
The left-handed opener is within touching distance of becoming the first Aussie to reach 1000 runs in T20 World Cups. Warner so far has scored 975 runs in 39 matches.
"To give a person like Maxwell a chance, he's going to run with it," said Trott.
