There’s still a chance of India’s exit if Australia wins big on Monday.

For India to crash out, Australia must win by 41-plus runs or with 32 balls to spare.

Afghanistan can make it to the semis by beating Bangladesh by 81 runs or more.

Australia are also in danger of getting knocked out.

[{"selector":"#anim-83d66e46-4f26-45c9-889e-ac534ed2028d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.15633600520874%, -5.2319335874186255%) scale(0.8928571428571429)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

If Australia lose against India, Afghanistan can go to the semis by defeating Bangladesh.

If the Aussies win, the Afghans can still qualify with a better net run rate.

Bangladesh also have a chance of making it to the T20 WC semi-finals.

[{"selector":"#anim-e62dd5e7-4a28-4b8e-afb9-feafd093f723 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-0.9339488699261428%, 2.463401310121792%) scale(0.9009009009009009)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

For Bangladesh to qualify, Australia must lose to India by 55-plus runs or 41-plus balls.

[{"selector":"#anim-84941702-be9f-4d37-a065-439c046c525e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-0.027298722353067715%, 2.783468610096784e-7%) scale(0.9174311926605505)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Bangladesh then would have to beat Afghanistan by over 31 runs or with 23 balls to spare.

If the India vs Australia match is washed out, the Men in Blue will qualify with 5 points.

[{"selector":"#anim-6f9ce418-10fd-4132-81f1-18158d6ccdb0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0.0585921225810301%, 2.708911441828831e-7%) scale(0.8928571428571429)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It would also leave the door open for Afghanistan’s qualification if they can beat Bangladesh.
