Australia, South Africa fancied to advance

Australia and South Africa will look to avoid any slip-ups when the final group games of the International Cricket Council World 20/20 take place in Barbados this afternoon.



A win over Bangladesh in the first game, which is now underway, would put Australia through to the Super Eight phase with Pakistan.



However, a win for Bangladesh would mean net run-rate would decide who progresses.



The later game at 4p.m. is a straight contest between South Africa and Afghanistan to see who goes through from Group C, along with India.



With the weather having affected several games in the tournament so far, South Africa will know that a no result would see them go through on net run-rate.



While Afghanistan battled bravely in their seven-wicket defeat by India on Saturday, it would take an upset of monumental proportions if a team who were in the fifth tier of international cricket two years ago were to beat the Proteas.
