Pitch and Weather Conditions

Surprisingly the dew factor hasnt had much impact in the evening and has assisted fast bowlers during the first powerplay in the second innings. Fast bowlers get some early movement of the surface in the early stages but as the game progresses the pitch gets worn out, spinners can come into play.
It is going another hot and humid day a Mumbai with the temperature hovering around 37 degrees Celsius to 31 degrees Celsius.

Australia Preview & Playing XI
Australia continue their dominance as they extend their winning streak to five matches with a crucial 33 run victory over the defending champions England. The sweetest part is Australia eliminating England from the 2023 ODI World Cup. Steven Smith is struggling with illness and his selection will be game time decision. Glenn Maxwell who missed out the last game with a concussion is fit and will replace Marnus Labuschagne/Steven Smith in the playing XI.

If New Zealand and Pakistan loose their next match then Afghanistan needs one win to advance to the semis.
