Like Afghanistan-Australia no result of the group B semi-final scenarios

The ongoing ICC Champions Trophy watched another game that ended in a NO -NO result on Friday. Afghanistan and Australia each collected one point after rain played the pampering sport in their collision of Group B in Lahore. It was not a complete washing out like the previous game of Australia against South Africa or the group, a meeting between hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh – both are left without a ball being drilled in Rawalpindi.

The Afghan, which England had beaten in the Lahore Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday in the Lahore Gaddafi Stadium with an exciting eight-run win, scored a fight on the board thanks to half the centuries by Sediqullah Atal (85) and Azmatullah Omarzai (67).

The two-time master Australia had a blazing start and raced to 109/1 after 12.5 over, and Travis head is unbeaten with 59 out of 40 balls when the sky opened over Lahore and brought the game to a standstill.

Although the rain subsided some time later, the referees could not restart the game due to large damp patches in the outer field, which deported the game.

This is how the latest result influences the semi -final scenarios in terms of group B:

Are Australia up to the semi -finals?

Australia had to avoid a defeat in his last group game against Afghanistan to get to the semi -finals, and the washing out confirmed their place in the Knockouts from Group A.

Whether the Aussies is at the top of Group B or not depends on the match in South Africaen-Gerlande, which takes place in Karachi on Saturday.

How Afghanistan can still qualify

The match in South Africaengemeinschaft will also decide whether the spirited Afghan team will reach the semi-finals of an ICC event for the second time in so many years. The Afghans ended with three points to their name with a win, defeat and a result.

However, the proteas enjoy a significant advantage over the men of Hashmatullah Shahidi in relation to the net run rate (NRR) – their (+2.140) are currently the best among all teams.

Afghanistan (-0.990) ended with a NRR in the negative and will need England to defeat South Africa with a huge lead so that they can finish on the table in front of the men of Temba Bavuma to qualify.
