Three teams remain on the hunt because Group B in the ICC Champions Trophy comes to an exciting conclusion. South Africa and Australia give the charts with three points each – with the friendly approval of a victory and a washed competition. On Friday, when the second-placed Australia competes against the third-placed Afghanistan, nothing less than a victory of her semi-final progress in the Champions Trophy would guarantee. However, it is not only expected that the battle is solved with bat and ball, with the weather conditions in Lahore also playing an important role.

The Aussies started their tournament campaign with a theater victory against England before their big showdown with South Africa was abandoned due to the rain. The form was mixed for the Afghans, but they will enter their match with Australia with confidence after getting better from England on Wednesday. This victory came in their opening tournament after a strong defeat of 107 runs against South Africa.

Lahore Weather Report today:

According to Accuweather, a rainy probability of around 71% remains in the city today (Friday). Overall probability, Australia will organize a stop start match against Afghanistan competition, in which the chances of a full game of 50 exceed 50.

Which team goes through when Afghanistan is abandoned against Australia Champions Trophy Match?

In a washed competition, both Afghanistan and Australia would get one point. Such a situation would automatically qualify for the semi -finals, as they would have 4 points to their name. However, Afghanistan would only remain in the race mathematically.

The Afghans have a net running rate of -0.990. It would stay the same, even if the team in Group B. South Africa has 3 points with a net running rate of +2.140, also has three points to their name. In the event of a washing out in the game in Afghanistan against Australia, the Proteas would practically guarantee a semi-final progression.

The only statistics that would keep Afghanistan on the hunt is a possible (if not practical) severe defeat against South Africa in their last game B against England on Saturday.
