Australia currently seem poised to emerge as the third semi-finalist of the World Cup.
With two league-stage matches still to go, Australia’s path to knockouts looks quite smooth.
5 consecutive wins have made things easy for the Kangaroos.
A victory from their last two games will be enough for the Aussies to reach the semis.
Even if they are beaten by Afghanistan, Australia can still qualify for the next round.
A win in their last league-stage game against Bangladesh will guide Australia to the semi-finals.
Australia may not be eliminated even if they fail to win their last two matches.
In that case, Australia’s qualification will depend on the Net Run Rate (NRR).
Australia’s current NRR of 0.924 is a lot higher than that of the other three contenders.
New Zealand and Pakistan's defeat in their last games will automatically result in Australia’s qualification.
