The winner of the match will advance to the final to face New Zealand on March 8 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Australia, struggling with injuries leading upto the tournament, with pacers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood missing out due to injuries, and Tim David and Glenn Maxwell having injury scares leading upto the tournament, crashed out in the first round of the competition following humiliating losses to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.

Once again questioned were raised over the team's T20I future and if they took the format seriously at all, having won only one T20WC back in 2021.
