The scenario is quite simple—if the match is washed out, it will clearly benefit Australia. Currently, they have three points, and if the weather doesn’t improve and the match gets abandoned, both teams will receive one point each. This would take Australia to four points, securing their place in the semi-finals, while Afghanistan will be eliminated.
As for Afghanistan’s semi-final chances, it’s extremely straightforward, they must win the match to qualify. A victory would book their spot in the semi-finals, where they would finish either first or second, depending on the result of the South Africa vs England game. Even if South Africa loses their upcoming match against England, the Proteas can still reach the semi-finals. However, they would prefer an Australian victory to secure their spot, regardless of their own match result.
At the moment, winning is the only option for Afghanistan to stay in the tournament.
