Big chance for india to enter finals, due to this team..!?

Afghanistan is still likely to data-face india in the first semi-final match of the world cup series. Let's see about that. The ongoing ICC world cup 2023 has become one of the most interesting ICC series in the last few years. The rise of the afghanistan and netherlands teams, the fall of the current England, and the series of victories of the indian team (Team India), which is hosting the series, can be said to be the usual action of Australia. We have also seen many matches going very, very fast. For example, there was no more exciting and exciting ODI than yesterday's Australia-Afghanistan (AUS vs AFG) match. A single man named Maxwell's tenacious faith may have shattered the entire dream of Afghanistan. Not only was he the first to score 200 runs in the chase, but he also became the first Australian player to score 200 runs in ODIs. However, it is the same afghanistan team that is included in australia that has defeated England, pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
Afghanistan played 8 matches in this series, won 4 and lost 4. After consecutive defeats to bangladesh and india, they gained a lot of confidence by defeating England. Subsequently, despite losing to new zealand, pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the netherlands won a hat-trick. Yesterday, the team batters also managed the Australian bowling and set a target of 292 runs. Although the Afghan team has achieved many things in this series, many people said that Maxwell destroyed their semi-final dream yesterday. With india and south africa having confirmed their place in the semi-finals yesterday, only the race for the fourth place remains. While new zealand and pakistan have a chance to grab the spot, afghanistan still has that chance.
New Zealand, pakistan, and afghanistan are in 4th, 5th and 6th position with 8 points each. These three teams have only 1 match each. In this, the new zealand team will data-face Sri Lanka, the pakistan team will data-face England, and the afghanistan team will data-face South Africa. In this, new zealand is leading in net run rate. pakistan has a good run rate. Afghanistan's run rate is the worst. Hence, afghanistan needs to win the match against south africa by a huge run-rate margin if they want to qualify for the semi-finals. Specifically, if new zealand and pakistan lose their next match, afghanistan will advance to the semi-finals if they win that match. Perhaps if new zealand loses and pakistan wins, afghanistan should surpass Pakistan's net run rate. It includes the New Zealand-Sri Lanka match tomorrow and the Afghanistan-South Africa match the day after tomorrow. So, if new zealand wins, Afghanistan's semi-final chances fade away. Pakistan-England match Nov. afghanistan will also have to look forward to that match as it is scheduled to be held on the 11th. Let's wait and see on whose side the wind of fortune will blow.
