Afghanistan in contention for semi-final

 

Before this match, Afghanistan's qualification to Super 8 itself was being considered as an upset. However, with India and Australia being in the same group as them, no one was counting them in for the semi-final spot. But Now, their upset over the former champions Aussies have changed the scenario of Group 1. Australia are supposed to collide against Men in Blue in their final match and on the other hand, Afghan Lions will be going against Bangladesh. If both India and Afghanistan win their match, Australia will be out of the T20 World Cup 2024.
