The situation of hosting australia in the t20 world cup 2022 seems to be dead after Subbi's marriage. england won by 20 runs against new zealand in the crucial match of Group 1 on Tuesday. With this victory, England's semis chances have improved, but it has brought a new difficulty to Australia. And new zealand also got a situation where they could not reach the semis easily with this unexpected defeat. 

Three matches in Group 1 were canceled due to rain. The Group-1 semifinal race has become interesting as the main teams new zealand, Aussies and england are competing. new zealand is currently at the top of Group 1 with five points (two wins, one loss and one cancellation) after 4 matches. England also (two wins, one loss and one match cancellation) is in the second position with 5 points. New Zealand is at the top with a better run rate (2.233) after a huge win against australia in the first match. Australia's negative run rate (-0.304) is troubling the team. Fourth and fifth-placed sri lanka and ireland have dropped out of the semis race.

New Zealand must win Friday's match against ireland to reach the semi-finals without any complications. Not only to win but also to be a safe side and get a better run rate. If the Kiwis lose this match, even if it is cancelled by rain, then the chances of the semis of the team are lost. Cancellation will add one point to the Kiwis account. Then, if that team wants to reach the semi-finals. one of the next matches between england and australia will have to be cancelled. Then Kiwis will take the lead in the tournament due to a better run rate.

And england must win the match against sri lanka on Saturday. If they lose or lose this match, the team's story is over. australia should win the match against afghanistan by a huge margin on Friday. If the team wins by around 100+ runs then the team will qualify for the semis. Even if the match is lost, the team's story ends. If there is a simple win. there is a possibility that one team will lose in the next matches played by england and New Zealand. Overall Group-1 semi-final berths depend on smaller nations, run rate along with rain.
