Australia won only one match and reached the semi-finals..!!?

 Australia has won only one match in the 2025 Champions Trophy series and has a chance to reach the semi-finals. In this series, australia was placed in Group B. The reason for this is the luck of rain. south africa, afghanistan, and england were also in that group. australia faced england in its first match. In that match, the Australian team played aggressively and achieved a mega target of 352 runs and won. The next match with south africa was abandoned due to rain. Following this, the match against afghanistan was also abandoned halfway due to rain. With this, the Australian team got a total of four points. australia got two points with the win against england and one point each as the matches against south africa and afghanistan were abandoned.
With these four points, the Australian team has confirmed its semi-final chance. Moreover, the Australian team has confirmed its semi-final by winning only one match. Of course, luck has favored australia this time.Because, in the previous Champions Trophy series, the Australian team could not win a single match due to various reasons including rain. But this time, the rain has helped the Australian team. The rain also confirmed the team's semi-final chance.

It is noteworthy that new zealand and india have already advanced to the semi-finals in Group A. australia is now the third team to qualify for the semi-finals. There is only one match left in Group B, which will see south africa and england face off. Even if south africa loses that match, there is a chance that they will have a higher net run rate than Afghanistan. For example, if england wins by 207 runs, South Africa's net run rate will be lower than Afghanistan's. Since this is unlikely, south africa is also expected to qualify for the semi-finals.
