Rohit Sharma’s men look set to create an upset against Australia in this tournament and are on the cusp of making another statement by defeating them, moving up one spot in Group 1, demoting Australia to third and potentially knocking them out altogether. Should Australia lose, any hopes for further advancement hinge upon Afghanistan beating Bangladesh in their final match and maintaining their hopes.
