1 India 3 3 0 0 +2.017 6

India: India have qualified for the semifinals with a 24-run win over Australia. The Men in Blue have made it to the last four for a second time in a row and will take on England in Guyana in a repeat of the second semifinal of the last edition.

Australia: Australians find themselves in a tricky situation after the loss against Afghanistan. Australia have two points from two games and now need to beat India at all costs to secure passage into the final four. After a loss to India, Australia would want Bangladesh to beat Afghanistan, but after 12.1 overs. This is so because Bangladesh can advance to the semis if they chase Afghanistan's 116 by 12.1 overs.

Afghanistan: Afghanistan had fate in their own hands before the Bangladesh match but a poor batting effort saw them score just 115/5. They now need to beat Bangladesh anyhow to qualify. ICC T20 World Cup 2024: A Look at Format, Groups, Participating Teams and Points System of Men's Twenty20 Cricket WC
