Australia Knocked Out After Rain Ends Their Last Hope
Australia are officially out of the tournament after a very disappointing performance. First, they were shocked by Zimbabwe, and then they were beaten again by Sri Lanka last night. After these two losses, Australia’s chances of qualifying became very difficult.
Their last hope was the match between Zimbabwe and Ireland. Australia needed Ireland to win, but unfortunately, rain stopped the match. The game was abandoned, and both teams were given one point each. Because of this result, Australia’s final chance to stay in the tournament ended.
In today’s match, New Zealand defeated Canada, which also ended Afghanistan’s hopes of reaching the Super Eight stage. Now the Super Eight teams are almost confirmed. From Group 1: India, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and West Indies have qualified. From Group 2: Pakistan (if they beat Namibia), England, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand are set to qualify. Now, all eyes are on Pakistan as fans wait to see if they can win their important match and secure their place.
