The Australians are out of the competition. Yeah, i agree that they played well, but not so well and Afghanistan just ruined their dreams.
It is rare to see Australia not playing in the finals of the World Cup.
Relations are not really warm between Afghanistan Cricket Board and Cricket Australia. CA cancelled the Afghan tour of Australia, citing the Taliban takeover. And as a response, Rashid Khan and other Afghan cricketers decided to boycott BBL. And both CA and ECB has requested the ICC to suspend ACB, given the lack of a women's national team (which is a mandatory requirement even for the associate members). And now Afghanistan has knocked Australia out of this tournament.
