The fate of six teams will be decided by the next three matches of the Super Eight stage in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Three teams will qualify for the semifinals, while the remaining three will pack their bags for home.

India is well-positioned to secure a spot in the final four of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, but a defeat against Australia in their upcoming Super Eight match could jeopardize their chances under Rohit Sharma’s leadership.

A victory over Australia would guarantee India the top spot in Group 1. However, a loss could see them overtaken by Australia or possibly Afghanistan, if Afghanistan defeats Bangladesh in their final Super Eight match.

Australia’s unexpected defeat to Afghanistan in St Vincent has left the 2021 champions in a precarious position going into their final Super Eight match against India.

Afghanistan’s surprising win over Australia has ensured that the race for the semi-finals remains wide open in Group 1.

Another victory against Bangladesh in their final Super Eights match would secure their spot in the final four.

Afghanistan is also relying on India to defeat Australia earlier in the day, which would simplify their path to qualification.

With a clear understanding of the scenario, Afghanistan will approach their crucial match against Bangladesh fully aware of what is at stake.

Afghanistan’s triumph over Australia has revived Bangladesh’s chances, offering them a pathway to the semi-finals if they secure a victory in their final Super Eights match.
