The final is scheduled to be held in Melbourne on November 13.

Group: Super 12, Group 1
Afghanistan have made a handful of changes from their recent Asia Cup outing, with all of Samiullah Shinwari, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Afsar Zazai, Karim Janat and Noor Ahmad missing from the 15-man group for the World Cup.
Qais Ahmad, who is familiar with Australian conditions having played in the Big Bash League, will headline the additions alongside Darwish Rasooli and Salim Safi.
Ahmad will be joined in the spin engine room by Rashid Khan, who has also spent plenty of time playing in Australia, while Mohammad Nabi captains the squad.

Group: Super 12, Group 1
Australia were the first nation to confirm their squad for the tournament, with few changes for the defending champions from the team who took home the trophy in the United Arab Emirates last year.
Aaron Finch, who is under enormous pressure thanks to a lack of runs, retains his place in the side, but it's the inclusion of Tim David which could become the talk of the tournament.
Previously playing for Singapore, his swashbuckling batting for the Hobart Hurricanes and around the world in the shortest format of the game could see him debut in Australian colours despite the fact he has never played a first class game. He would become the first to do so since David Warner.
The squad is also all-rounder heavy, with Ashton Agar, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis all selected once again.

Bangladesh have made big changes from the Asia Cup, who didn't win a game during the tournament.

England have confirmed some surprises in their squad for the World Cup, to go with a mega injury blow.
While Jason Roy's absence - replaced by Phil Salt - came as something of a surprise given Roy's overall success both in the format, and in scoring runs in Australia during his various stints in the Big Bash League, it's Jonny Bairstow's injury which impacts England the most.
The big-hitting batsman hurt himself leading up to the tournament and won't feature.
This will also be Jos Buttler's first time captaining England in a global tournament, while other experienced players Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Ben Stones, David Willey, Chris Woakes and Alex Hales headline the squad.
England have also picked three travelling reserves.

India have confirmed the loss of Ravindra Jadeja for the T20 World Cup in what will be a big blow to their chances. Jadeja picked up an all-rounder during the Asia Cup, which was held recently in the United Arab Emirates.
They do, however, welcome back Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, with both players having missed the Asia Cup with injuries.
India are otherwise close to full strength, with Mohammad Shami being relegated to the role of a replacement player outside of a squad which features three spin-bowling options in Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal and Axar Patel and a batting line up with the likes of captain Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant.
