Australia suffered a surprising 21-run loss to Afghanistan, jeopardising their semi-final hopes at the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Dropping five catches and struggling in the powerplay, Australia were 32-3 early on and eventually all out for 127 while chasing 149.
This loss means Australia may need to rely on net run-rate to advance, even if they win against India in their final Super Eight game.
Afghanistan's historic win keeps their own semi-final hopes alive ahead of their match against Bangladesh.
With Australia set to face India on June 24, experts discuss what are the prospects of the Men In Blue winning against the Australian Side in this new episode of Pitch Battle.
