Paths to T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals for Australia, India and Afghanistan

India

India sits comfortably with four points and a net run rate of 2.245, putting them in a prime position to advance. A victory over Australia in their final Super Eight match will secure their place at the top of Group 1. However, a loss could see them overtaken by both Australia and Afghanistan, depending on the outcome of Afghanistan's match against Bangladesh. If India makes it to the semi-finals, they will play in Guyana on June 27.

Australia

Australia’s unexpected defeat to Afghanistan in St. Vincent has put the 2021 champions in a precarious position ahead of their crucial match against India. With two points and a net run rate of 0.223, a win against India is essential for Australia to advance. A loss, however, might allow Afghanistan or Bangladesh to take their spot in the semi-finals.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan's surprise victory over Australia has kept their semi-final hopes alive. They have two points and a net run rate of -0.650. A win against Bangladesh in their final Super Eight match could secure their place in the top four. Afghanistan will also be hoping for an Indian victory over Australia to simplify their path to the semi-finals.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh has yet to score any points and currently has a net run rate of -2.489. Despite this, Afghanistan's win over Australia has given Bangladesh a glimmer of hope. To advance, they need to beat Afghanistan decisively in their final match and hope that India defeats Australia, which would enhance their chances based on net run rate comparisons with both Afghanistan and Australia.
