Right that wraps it up for this game. Join us tomorrow, because only this match has ended, the World Cup hasn't. Till then, this is Saurabh Somani signing off on behalf of Peter Della Penna and Chandan Duorah.

7.30pm: Captains speak time.

Gulbadin Naib: "They are a champion side, so you can't have any mistake against them. We didn't have a good start with our openers, so obviously we were a bit on the back foot. After that Rahmat and Nabi got stuck in the wicket, so the pressure was there. Looking at the England conditions, you can take this kind of step (bringing in Hamid). Hope there is something for spin in the upcoming matches."

Aaron Finch: "Always a bit of nerves, we've been training together so long now. We were probably ready to go four days ago, long build up. But good to get a first win. Wickets in the Powerplay are crucial to any side, if you look at the data, so pretty good to get a couple early. Couple of sharp run-out chances from Smithy. I felt good today, you get a couple away early and get a good flow going. Warner is very important to our side. He was struggling to time the ball in the first half, but the fact that he kept hanging in there was great for him. He did the job at the end. Important you don't look too far ahead."

7.24pm: David Warner is the Man of the Match. "Good to be back. Great win and good start for us. Gotta keep the ball rolling. Nerves getting back into the camp and getting back into the full intensity of training. I was a bit more relaxed when Finchy started going. For us it's getting past this first victory and move on to the West Indies. We know the bowlers always say that one-day cricket is a batsman's game, but you saw the out and out quicks going through the batsmen. For us as batters, its about holding our nerve. This team is a different one from the team back then (in 2015) but there is a great energy and great buzz about this team."

7.20pm: Command performance by Australia, particularly while batting. While bowling too, they had the better of Afghanistan except for a few overs at the end. But the good work done upfront meant they didn't have much to chase. The batsmen came out with purpose. Finch was aggressive, Warner was intent on batting through. Both did that. Would have been perfect if Smith had stayed unbeaten, but you can't deny the perfection of a finish that has a Maxwell boundary at the end. Australia's defence is up and running, and in some style too. Stick around for the presentations.

So it won't be a fairytale comeback of Smith and Warner sharing an unbeaten partnership to drive Australia to victory. Maybe Glenn Maxwell will hit a six to finish to compensate?

What does your score predictor say for the remaining 44 matches and today's champions league final?" - says the magic formula for exciting cricket is to log on to ESPNcricinfo and get 10 other friends to log on. Who must each get 10 friends too. And so on...

Rahul Gupta: "This partnership is a statement! Beware, Aussies will dominate this world cup too. "
