Afghanistan will still need to beat Bangladesh by some decent margin depending upon whatever the loss margin is inflicted on Australia.
Basically, it will be best for both Afghanistan and Bangladesh that India utterly wrecks Australia.
Come on Asian prayers!! :D

Nah. If india beat australia then Afghanistan just need to beat Bangladesh even by 1 runs. .

On his day Bangladesh can beat Afghanistan with 80 runs margin...BD bat first 200 runs..Afg allout 120 runs. It is real possibility
Click to expand...
Easiest if Afghanistan bat first and collapses to 100 runs, BD chase it in 12 overs or so. Improbable but not impossible. Of course, I would Aus qualify.
 
I'll take one run win Vs Afg. Talking about semies is like me dreaming about marrying Sri devi when I was young and saw her in Mr. India

Wrong bhai. Depends on the margin
Afghanistan still needs to beat Baangladesh by about 15-20 runs. else Australia will qualify based on NRR
Click to expand...
Why? If India beats Aus than Aus can't get more than 2 points and Afg beating BD will give them 4 points..nrr will be out of the equation
 
Aang_The_last_airbender said:
Australia needs a very hefty margin to secure their place on their own else will be at mercy of Afghan Bangladesh match
Click to expand...
Not necessarily. Afghanistan's NRR isn't exactly that great either. If Australia beat India then Afghanistan will have to beat Bangladesh by a significant margin as well.
 
Australia is going to come hard in the game against India. An Australian team with a point to prove is very dangerous. Should be a great game of cricket.

This is what Indian fan hoping. They will come hard and will make some mistakes so we can cash them.

We don't have any pressure as we most likely go through thanks to huge NRR

just did some more maths,
The only case of India getting knocked out is as follows:

1. India losing by at least a margin of 41 runs to Australia, this ensures Australia NRR is above India. AND
2. Afghanistan beating Bangladesh by atleast 83 runs!

Both these scenarios happening together are highly unlikely so, India should go through realistically.

But this doesnt mean Afghanistan has to beat by this margin.
Both Afghansitan and Bangladesh benefit if Australia thump Australia by a good margin.
A 29 run margin for India will allow Afghanistan to qualify by just 1 run win
A 20 run margin of India victory over Australia will set Afghanistan's win requirement to just 11 runs
A 10 run margin of India victory over Australia will set Afghanistan win requirement margin to 23 runs
A 1 run margin of India victory over Australia will set Afghanistan win requirement margin of 34 runs
It will go increasing till we get to the other end of the spectrum of worst case scenario of 83 runs margin requirement, in which case India will get eliminated.

Australia is the best team when it comes to performing under pressure. Today was rare occasion where they buckled under it, probably because they were overconfident. But they still have a track-record that outmatches any other team.

Also, having your back to the corner is always better than being comfortable in an ICC tournament. The motivation is just different. When you get comfortable, you open the door for complacency to creep in.

We have edge against them in T20 .

We have superior record in WT20 also .

We were eliminated them in 2016 virtual quaterfinal thanks to Kohli masterclass .

These pitch won't suits their power hitter. They dont have Smith who can hold one hand and others can attacked.

I don't see what any of that has to do with this match. 2016 was 7 years ago. India has every reason to be confident but I wouldn't get overconfident. India has quite a few holes in the playing eleven as well and Gros Islet is also one of the more high scoring pitches in the tournament. Its not a spinners paradise like Tarouba or Guyana

This Australia team is just flat track bully. They dont have single player who can adjust according to condition .

If pitch for next match on slowish side then game over for Australia .

They should have selected Smith for these pitches .

If yesterday Smith was played then they would jave won the game
 
Semi-final scenarios - Eight teams still chasing four spots at T20 World Cup

Only four matches remain in the Super Eight stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, and all eight teams still harbour aspirations of reaching the semi-finals.

We take a look at how your side is placed heading into the business end of the Super Eight phase and what needs to occur for each team to reach the knockout stages.

Group 1

India – Well placed to reach semi-finals

Four points | 2.425 net run rate

India are in the box seat to qualify for the final four, but a loss to Australia in their last Super Eight match could still see Rohit Sharma’s side miss out.

A win against Australia will cement top spot in Group 1, while a loss could see them overtaken by Australia and even Afghanistan should they win against Bangladesh in the last match of the Super Eights.

If India do qualify for the semis they will play their knockout contest in Guyana on June 27.

Australia – Shock loss leaves uncertainty

Two points | +0.223

Australia’s shock loss to Afghanistan in St Vincent leaves the 2021 champions placed precariously heading into their final Super Eight encounter against India.

A win against India will likely see Australia qualify for the semi-finals, while a loss could see Afghanistan or Bangladesh take their place.

Afghanistan – Still in the mix

Two points | -0.650

Afghanistan kept the race for the semi-finals in Group 1 wide open with an upset victory over Australia and can qualify for the final four with another win against Bangladesh in their final Super Eights match.

They will be hoping India can do them a favour and beat Australia earlier in the day to make their task that little bit easier and they will enter that clash with Bangladesh knowing with the equation is.

Bangladesh – Could still reach final four

Zero points | -2.489

Afghanistan’s victory over Australia has provided Bangladesh with a lifeline as the Tigers can reach the final four with a win in the final Super Eights match of the tournament.

They will also need a favour from India. If the Men in Blue are able to beat Australia, the Tigers will then need to beat Afghanistan comfortably to boost their net run rate in front of their Asian rival and the Aussies.

Group 2

South Africa - In box seat for semi-finals

Four points | +0.625 net run rate

Despite being undefeated at the tournament so far, the Proteas could miss out on the semi-finals with a loss to the West Indies.

Their destiny remains in their own hands, with a victory against the tournament co-hosts enough to ensure South Africa top their group and setup a semi-final clash against the second-placed finisher in Group 1.

West Indies - Destiny in their own hands

Two points | +1.814

The equation is simple for the Caribbean side - defeat South Africa to reach the semi-finals.

A loss to the Proteas could also see the West Indies qualify, but they would then have to rely on USA defeating England in the other Group 2 contest and finishing with a superior net run rate to both sides.

England - In contention for semi-finals

Two points | +0.412

A victory over the USA in their final Super Eight contest should see the defending champions reach the final four.

A narrow triumph - coupled with a equally close West Indies victory - could see England miss out on net run rate, but its likely a win will be enough.

USA - Need a miracle to qualify

Zero points | -2.908

While the tournament co-host can still mathematically qualify for the final four, they would need everything go right for it to occur.

They would need to comfortably defeat England in their final match of the Super Eight and have their net run rate overtake the defending champions in the process.

They would also need South Africa to record a similar-sized victory over the West Indies, so the Caribbean side fall behind the USA's net run rate.

The final wasn't a flat track though? So I disagree.

But I am worried, Marsh's form has been terrible and no jake fraser costed them, Also Tim David is so clueless against spin.

The rest I'm not worried about. Warner, Travis amd Stones didn't kick today, but it's unlikely it'll happen a 2nd time.

Worried about hazlewood though. Surprisingly poor from him today.

Head was dropped and he was so lucky. His partnership with labuschagne won the game otherwise they were struggling at 47-3 .
marnus labuschagne is good player on spinning condition.

Marsh and Tim David are clueless on slowish surface.

It's odi not t20.Aus don't have marnus,smith to adjust and eat balls / time.All of them are flat track bullies to the core.Travis is always a lottery.Warner is completely washed up and stoinis have issues with bowling pitches.As of now there is no anchor.Even Ponting today commented if it was not Maxwell score, aus must have looked horrible
 
JFM would have failed badly on these slowish wickets. He is a top prospect but he is very inexperienced. No chance in hell he would have adjusted to these conditions and it could have jeopardized his international future.

It was a blessing in disguise for him that Australia went with Warner in these conditions.

Does not matter how ''hard'' they come lmao.

This is a match of little consequence for India and therefore the pressure factor is not there. India will handle AUS easily. If this were a knockout, then India would have no chance.

Ayt we'll see
 
Afghanistan have made many easy equations complex (by beating Australia).

Anything can happen tomorrow. No team have qualified for semi yet just like no time have been eliminated.
 
England has already made it to the semi-finals.

Which three other teams will make it to the next round?

It'll be funny if SA get eliminated despite having a clean streak lol, cause every single one of their games minus USA have been nail biters.

Even though UsA they dominated through and through, USA still got close 😂
 
So, India, England, and South Africa are already through to the Semi-Finals. Who will be the 4th team to make it to the next round?
 
so chances are still open for Australia, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to qualify for the next round.

My semi finalists

1) Australia
2) India
3) New Zealand

I feel like teams will figure south Africa out, if they win the toss all of them will let SA chase. And England is kinda out of it.

lol bro your continent’s fortune depends upon the dark horse
 
The semi-final lineup was completed as Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh to qualify for the semis.

It is going to be:

Semi-Final 1: AFGHANISTAN vs SOUTH AFRICA

Semi-Final 2: INDIA vs ENGLAND
 
No Australia no West Indies

Ricky Ponting and Brian Lara 😝

India Afghanistan defending champions and chokers 😜fantastic four 🦁

What should we call the team which couldn't score 120 runs in 120 balls with the so called world best batsman and world best bowlers in their team.

Ya I mean Pakistan in semi finals was always gonna be a lol, Before the tournament half of PP predicted Pakistan wouldn't make it past S8? Granted half of them may have been slightly prejudice cause they hate Bobby,

But anyone with a brain could tell that the qorlds worst opening pair mixed with a middle order that's as brittle as glass, Run machine bowling and a captain who just can't put his dosti yaari aside and goes out of his way to protect someone like Shadab over Abrar was never reaching Semi's.

S8 was always going to be a hard stop if they qualified
 
Ahmed216 said:
Yep Abrar would have swallowed USA. Those 4 overs from Shadab cost us and then Aamir bowled that ATG super over
Click to expand...
Aamir bowled a horrible SO, but it always comes back down to the captain.

Naseem was your best bowler that day, Babar himself was the best batter that day.

Naseem should have been playing S8 and babar should have been one of the openers in an S8.

In the final of 2019, England would have 90% of the time gone with Roy and Butler opening with Bairstow at 3.

However they had stokes open cause he was fresh, inform and knew the conditions the most out of any other team.

It's common sense to play your most inform player and your most inform pacer in a Super over.

Their is no excuse for aamir bowling that SO, but theirs no excuse for Babar not walking out and hiding behind a pair who scored 2 runs against Zimbabwe the last time they walked out or bowling Aamir ahead of Naseem.

Shadab bowled 3 overs in that match and also scored 40.

Even though, I want him out of the team, but he wasn't the one to blame.

We needed a specialist spinner who could pick wickets. Abrar was part of the team I hoped they'd play.
I did not pick both amir and Haris who lost us the game against USA.

But it's Pakistan, what more could you expect from them?

That would have been over performing sir. Pakistan currently stands between rank 6 to 9 in Cricket.
They should have been in super 8. But would have been clobbered by the 3 teams Eng, WI and SA.
That would have been more embarrassing losing 5 matches in a world cup (Assuming Ireland had beaten US to help Pakistan qualify)
