Champions Trophy: We've To Win Against Afghanistan To Qualify For Semis, Says Smith
With South Africa: After incessant rain washed out their Champions Trophy encounter against South Africa in Rawalpindi, Australia captain Steve Smith said his team will now be gearing up for their next outing, which they have to win, against Afghanistan in their final Group B game to confirm their qualification to the last four.
Australia defeated England by five wickets in their opening encounter in a historic chase of 352 in Lahore to gain two points. However, the washout barred them from gaining two points from the fixture as both teams shared a point each in Rawalpindi on Tuesday.
With South Africa claiming the top spot in Group B with three points at a NRR of +2.140, second-placed Australia (+0.475) have the task of toppling Afghanistan to keep them alive, unless England lose one of their two remaining games, in the eight-team spectacle.
