In what promises to be a nail-biting finish, Afghanistan's aspirations of making their first-ever T20 World Cup semis could be realized if India triumphs over Australia in a crucial Super Eights encounter.

Currently, India leads the group, while Australia and Afghanistan share 2 points each. However, India's superior net run rate positions them as favorites, with Australia also ahead of Afghanistan in this metric.

Despite the odds, Afghanistan remains confident as they prepare to face Bangladesh, buoyed by their recent victory against Australia and solid performances from stars like Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran in Caribbean conditions.
