Cummins jags ANOTHER World Cup hat-trick | 00:51Following Afghanistan ’s historic T20 World Cup victory over Australia , it remains mathematically possible for each nation in the Super Eights to qualify for the semi-finals.at Kingstown ’s Arnos Vale Ground to keep their T20 World Cup dream alive for another 48 hours.

It was assumed tournament favourites Australia and India would cruise through to the semi-finals, but Afghanistan’s shock triumph in St Vincent has left both nations vulnerable. For example, if Australia toppled India by one run on Tuesday, Afghanistan would only need to defeat Bangladesh by 36 runs to surpass their net run rate.

South Africa remains undefeated in the T20 World Cup, but the Proteas are at serious risk of being eliminated from the tournament if they lose to host nation the West Indies on Monday.
