The 2024 T20 World Cup has delivered another shock as Afghanistan knocked out defending champions Australia with a historic win against Bangladesh in the final Super Eight fixture in Kingstown.
Despite setting a modest target of 115/5, Afghanistan's spirited bowling led to a narrow eight-run DLS victory, eliminating Australia from the tournament.
This result offers relief to India, who have often struggled against Australia in World Cup knockouts, including the 2003 ODI World Cup final and the 2023 final.
India has managed key victories against Australia in past T20 World Cups, and this development eases the lingering pain of their recent World Cup final defeat.
As the IPL 2025 auction approaches, the spotlight is on top all-rounders like Sam Curran, Glenn Maxwell, and Washington Sundar, who are set to attract huge bids. With the introduction of the Impact Player Rule, these versatile players, capable of contributing with both bat and ball, are in high demand. Curran's strong performances, especially his Player of the Tournament award in the 2022 T20 World Cup, make him a top pick. Maxwell’s explosive batting and handy off-spin, along with Sundar’s reliable spin and batting prowess, ensure that these all-rounders will be at the centre of fierce bidding wars during the auction.
