Afghanistan’s undefeated streak in the T20 World Cup 2024 was broken when they achieved a historic first victory against Australia. This unexpected result has reshaped the dynamics of Group 1, keeping the semi-final race open for all four teams. Had Australia defeated Afghanistan, India would have already secured a semi-final berth. However, Australia’s loss has left the group stage wide open.

Team India To Complete Revenge Against Australia In T20 World Cup

India now has the opportunity to eliminate Australia from the tournament. For Australia to advance, they need to win against India and hope for favorable results from the Afghanistan vs. Bangladesh match. If India triumphs over Australia and Afghanistan wins against Bangladesh, Australia will be knocked out. Alternatively, if the Afghanistan-Bangladesh match is washed out, Afghanistan will progress with 3 points from 4 matches. An Indian victory would secure them the top position in Group 2 with 6 points.

Even if Australia wins against India, their qualification will hinge on the outcome of the Afghanistan-Bangladesh game. If Bangladesh beats Afghanistan, Australia will advance. However, if Afghanistan wins, the final decision will depend on the net run rate. According to the tournament rules, the top two teams from each group move on to the semi-finals.

India, unbeaten in the tournament so far, will aim to maintain their winning streak and potentially eliminate their arch-rivals, Australia, from the T20 World Cup 2024.
