On November 26, Tunisia and Australia will have their second match of the FIFA World Cup 2022. In the Group D match, these teams are coming from quite different first games. While Australia suffered a 1-4 defeat against France in their first game, Tunisia managed to hold Denmark, much stronger than the North African team on paper, for a goalless draw in their first.
Key Players
Tunisia will depend a lot on midfielder Ellyes Skhiri but surprise many with their hidden talent bank. Mathew Leckie, usually a winger, will be a key player for Australia.
Date, Time & Venue
The Tunisia vs Australia match will be played on November 26 at 3:30 PM (Indian time) in the Al Janoub Stadium, Al-Wakrah.
Live-streaming details
The Tunisia vs Australia match will be broadcast live on the Sports18 and Sports18 HD TV channels in India and Jio Cinema’s app and website will both offer free live streaming of the event.

Australia’s poor World Cup showings
Since 2006, the Socceroos has played seven games and won just one. They’ve been knocked out in the group stages of each of the previous two World Cups. A loss today would see them notch up an unwanted hat trick. - 23s ago (10:50 GMT)Golden chance wasted by TunisiaJebali did good work from out side to get the ball to Msakni. Msakni could not get enough curl on the ball and it goes wide. He is frustrated as he would normally put a chance like that away.45+3 mins: Tunisia 0-1 Australia

- A solid first half for Australia
Australia has looked good here. There’s a fluency to their attack and the backline has been resolute. Tunisia has looked threatening on counter-attacks but the Australian press has hindered their efforts to play on the front foot. - That’s a wrap
- Thank you for joining us.
- It was an entertaining game. There will be lots of celebrations for the Australians while Tunisian coach Jalel Kadri will need to have some hard conversations with his team.
Positive result against Denmark can see Aussies advance to knockout stage
