Australia kept their hopes of reaching the T20 World Cup semi-finals alive after beating Afghanistan in their final group game on Friday at the Adelaide Oval. Glenn Maxwell's unbeaten 32-ball 54 lifted Australia to 168/8 in the face of an effervescent Afghan bowling attack. Despite Rashid Khan's unbeaten 48 off 23 balls, Afghanistan fell short of the total by four runs. Australia's chances of reaching the semifinals, however, aren't in their hands as England have better net run-rate, and face Sri Lanka in Sydney on Saturday.
Following their defeat to Australia, Mohammad Nabi announced that he has decided to step down as captain of Afghanistan.
