A Must-Win Game for Australia Australia’s hopes for a T20 World Cup semifinal spot took a hit after a surprising 21-run loss to Afghanistan in their Super 8 match. Meanwhile, India solidified their position with four points after beating Bangladesh, putting them on the brink of a semifinal spot thanks to their superior run rate. Both Australia and Afghanistan currently have two points each.
A win for Australia would boost them to four points, potentially securing their semifinal spot even if Afghanistan also reaches four points by beating Bangladesh. However, if Australia loses to India and Afghanistan wins, Australia would be stuck at two points, allowing Afghanistan to advance with four points.
What Happens If IND vs AUS Is Washed Out? Rain could further complicate Australia’s chances. A washout would result in both teams sharing a point, leaving Australia with three points. In this case, Afghanistan could secure a semifinal spot by defeating Bangladesh and reaching four points, alongside India.
If the match is disrupted by rain, Australia’s only hope to reach the semifinals would be if Bangladesh manages to defeat Afghanistan. This scenario would leave both Bangladesh and Afghanistan with two points each, while India and Australia would advance with five and three points respectively, based on their previous performances. Thus, a rain-affected outcome could spell disaster for Australia’s T20 World Cup campaign.
