T20 World Cup 2024 / Which team is ahead between India and Australia - see where the problem is

T20 World Cup 2024: The Super 8 matches have now started in the T20 World Cup 2024. This journey which started with 20 teams has now been reduced to eight teams only. A few days from now, four more teams will be out. Meanwhile, the points table of Super 8 is getting very interesting. Teams are putting their claim in the semi-finals by overtaking each other. The Indian team may have continued its victory campaign by defeating Afghanistan, but in the meantime Australia has defeated Bangladesh and this has improved its net run rate.

Two groups have been formed for Super 8

The ICC has formed two groups for the T20 World Cup. India, Australia, Afghanistan and Bangladesh have been placed in Group A, while if we talk about Group 2, then England, South Africa, USA and West Indies have been included in it. After this, if we talk about Group A i.e. the group of the Indian team, then both India and Australia have won their first matches. But even after this, Australia's team is still at number one. The reason for this is the net run rate. Australia's team has won one match and got two points and its net run rate is 2.471.

Team India defeated Afghanistan, second in the points table

Team India had managed to beat Afghanistan in its first Super 8 match. The team won the first match and got two points and its net run rate is 2.350. That is, the team is at number two, but its NRR is slightly less. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see which team from this group reaches the semi-finals.

This is the condition of Group B

After this, if we talk about the second group i.e. B, then here the England team is at number one by winning its first match and with a net run rate of 1.343. At the same time, South Africa also won its first match and got two points and has reached number two. South Africa's net run rate is 0.900. USA and West Indies teams have lost their first match, so they are at third and fourth position.

If the points are equal, then the decision will be based on net run rate

Indian team has won its first match and now it has to play against Bangladesh on 22nd June. If India wins this match too, then the path to semi-finals will be almost confirmed for it. But the effort will be to secure its place in semi-finals by winning all three matches of Super 8. But if the teams of India and Australia are equal in terms of points, then the decision will be made on the basis of net run rate. Where the matter can get complicated. That is, for the teams that have won now, the possibility of going to the last 4 has only increased, the decision will be made on the basis of the remaining matches.
