The semi-final race has gotten really interesting after Afghanistan's big win against Australia.

However, there is still a chance of the Aussies and the Afghan side eliminating the Indian cricket team from the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024.
How can AUS and AFG eliminate India?

Currently, despite two consecutive losses even Bangladesh is in the run for the semi-final. The miracle number for them is If India beat the Aussies by 55 runs and then they pick up a 31-run win over Afghanistan.
