An historic loss to Afghanistan has left Australia in serious danger of missing the T20 World Cup finals just seven months after claiming the one-day World Cup.
A loss to India is likely to see Australia out of the Twenty20 World CupIt would be polite to suggest that Australia have had a mixed Twenty 20 World Cup. At times they have been diabolical, with their sloppy efforts creating the spectre that hangs over their chances of remaining in the tournament.
Will India come into this match with an inferiority complex knowing that Australia can hammer their bowling and choke their batting like no other side? While it could be argued that Australia had nothing to play for given they were already guaranteed a place in the Super Eights, the performance was unbefitting of a team which, given their trophy cabinet, suggests they are currently the best team in the world.and their performance in the field was worse than against Scotland, if that was possible. They not only dropped five catches, they missed balls in the field to concede boundaries that would have made a club captain furious.
