The Indian team is set to play its final Super 8 match against Australia in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday, June 24th, at the Gros Islet's Darren Sammy Stadium from 8 PM. While India officially hasn't sealed a semifinal spot yet, a victory over Australia would not only clinch their advance but also ensure their top position in Group-1.

Looking at the current dynamics, Group-1's equation has become captivating. With all four teams still in the race for the semifinals, only two will forge ahead. South Africa and England from Group-2 have already secured their semifinal berths. Let's explore the latest developments in Group-1...

India:

Securing the second place will pit them against South Africa. India's semifinal match is scheduled for June 27th in Guyana. Should the India-Australia match be washed out, India will still finish at the top. The only case in which India could be eliminated is if they suffer a massive defeat to Australia, and Afghanistan triumphs over Bangladesh with a large margin, potentially outdoing India's current net run rate of

If Bangladesh beats Afghanistan, it would become a triple tie, with net run rate determining the outcome. Australia's current net run rate stands at

Afghanistan:

Buoyed by their win against Australia, Afghanistan's morale is high. They are hoping for either an Indian victory or a washout against Australia. A win over Bangladesh would then edge them into the semifinals. Their current net run rate is

-0.650
