How a defeat somewhat ended the road for the Australian cricket team in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup?
With India emerging victorious, Australia have only two points in three games. For a spot in the semifinal, they will now hope that Bangladesh beat Afghanistan.
Afghanistan just win the game vs Bangladesh, they will qualify for semifinal.
Bangladesh could also qualify for the semifinal if they win by more than 61 runs. This will also led to Australia's elimination, justifying how a sweet revenge for India could led to Australia's elimination.
