Big picture - race to the semi-finals
It's the last Super Eight game of the T20 World Cup 2024 and it's open season as far as the fourth semi-final spot is concerned, with Afghanistan and Bangladesh, who will be out in the middle, and Australia, who can at best wait and watch, all in the fray.
Here's what will do it for each of them:
-
It's simple for Afghanistan - win and get into the semi-finals; lose and they are out, since their NRR will stay below Australia's even with a super-over defeat.
-
Australia are done with their games with a net run-rate of -0.331. They get into the semi-finals if Bangladesh win but Bangladesh's and Afghanistan's NRR remain below theirs.
-
For Bangladesh to go through, they need to win by 62 runs (having scored 160, say) or win in 12.5 overs (chasing 160), which will take their NRR above that of the other two.
-
There's rain around, of course, and shared points do the job for Afghanistan.
