Australia’s 24-run defeat towards India within the Tremendous Eight stage of the T20 World Cup 2024 means their semi-final probabilities now rely on the results of the final group recreation, between Bangladesh and Afghanistan. For Australia to qualify, Bangladesh have to beat Afghanistan, however by a margin of underneath 62 runs in the event that they bat first (assuming a complete of 140). If Bangladesh chase, they will have to get to 141 in at the very least 12.4 overs for Australia to complete with a better run fee.
Which means Bangladesh, whose internet run fee is presently languishing at -2.489, want an enormous win on Monday evening to surpass Australia’s -0.331. A win by 62 or extra runs, and a chase of 141 in 12.3 overs or earlier, will push them to second place on the factors desk. (In the event that they stage the scores after which win with a six, they’ll push the chase to 13.1 overs.) If Afghanistan rating 160, Bangladesh can keep forward of Australia by chasing it down in 12.5 overs or sooner (in the event that they rating 161), or in 13.3 overs in the event that they stage scores and win with a six.
For Afghanistan, the equation is way simpler: a win will guarantee second place within the group and a spot within the semi-finals, whereas a defeat will knock them out. That is as a result of even with a Tremendous Over defeat, their NRR will solely enhance to -0.433, which remains to be beneath Australia’s -0.331.
The crew which qualifies in second place on this group will tackle South Africa, the Group 2 toppers, in Tarouba in an evening recreation on Wednesday, whereas India will tackle England within the second semi-finals in a day recreation on Thursday in Windfall.
