Congratulations again to Afghanistan, who records its first win over Australia in any format.

Despite Pat Cummins snaring a second consecutive hat-trick and Glenn Maxwell posting a half-century, the Australians found themselves on the back foot throughout the match.

A win would have sealed a semifinal berth for Australia, who was unbeaten heading into the encounter.

Australia and Afghanistan both sit on two points in the Group 1 standings in the Super Eight stage, with India on top with four points.

India is already through to the semis, meaning Australia's fate will be decided in the final round of matches.

The Aussies face India on Tuesday AEST, while Afghanistan will play Bangladesh.

Thanks for your company today and we hope you will join us on Tuesday for Australia's crucial clash with India.

Bye for now!

AFGHANISTAN DEFEATS AUSTRALIA BY 21 RUNS!

What a victory for Afghanistan and richly deserved!

Adam Zampa is the last Australia batter out, caught by Mohammad Nabi from the bowling of Azmatullah Omarzai.

The Aussies are all out for 127 following an outstanding bowling display from Afghanistan.

Gulbadin Naib is named player of the match after taking 4-20 in Australia's innings.

Afghanistan's win was built on a solid batting performance, highlighted by the opening stand of 118 from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran.

Australia was set a difficult target, with only Glenn Maxwell (59) making an impression with the bat.

Well done Afghanistan!

Fazalhaq Farooqi is back into the attack for Afghanistan.

Can he finish off the Aussie challenge?

Josh Hazlewood gets a single before Adam Zampa finds the boundary with a four.

Zampa scoots through for one run to leave Hazlewood on strike for the final delivery.

The Aussies run for two but receive a free hit.

However, it's a dot ball and Australia finishes the over 9-125, needing 24 for victory.

Can the Aussies do it?

Naveen-ul-Haq is bowling and on his second ball it's a WICKET!

A brilliant catch from Gulbadin Naib after Ashton Agar launches a powerful cover drive.

Agar out for 2 and Australia is 9-113.

Josh Hazlewood joins Adam Zampa at the crease and they add three runs to Australia's innings.

Ahead of the final two overs, the Aussies are 9-116.

It's a tall order, with Australia needing 38 runs from 24 balls for victory.

Gulbadin Naib begins his final over and Afghanistan uses up its last review after Pat Cummins survives from the first delivery.

But two balls later and it's another WICKET!

Cummins is bowled for 3, as Gulbadin claims his fourth wicket of the Australian innings.

Australia 8-111 in the 17th over.

Adam Zampa is now at the crease for the Aussies, joining Ashton Agar out in the middle.

Almost a run-out on the fifth delivery, but still a wicket over and Australia is struggling at 8-113.

WICKET!

Rashid Khan strikes for Afghanistan to begin his final over.

He removes Matthew Wade, who attempts a sweep shot but hits the ball to Karim Janat to be out for 5.

Australia 7-108.

Ashton Agar joins Pat Cummins at the crease and the Aussies add three runs after the dismissal of Wade to be 7-111.

Australia is not out of the contest, especially with Glenn Maxwell at the crease.

He's  unbeaten on 59 as Gulbadin Naib begins the 15th over.

Gulbadin bowls tightly and on the fourth delivery it's a WICKET!

MAXWELL IS OUT!

The Aussie all-rounder is caught by Noor Ahmad at backward point to be out for 59.

Is that the last chance for the Aussies?

Not if Pat Cummins has anything to do with it.

He comes to the crease and gets off the mark with two runs, as Australia finishes the 15th over 6-108, chasing 149 for victory.

Naveen-ul-Haq got two wickets in his opening spell - what can he do in his second?

He's not helped by some poor fielding from Karim Janat at deep point, as Glenn Maxwell manages a boundary from the second ball.

Australia adds another seven runs during the over to move to 5-105.

Gulbadin Naib continues his spell, with Australia needing 65 runs from 48 balls.

Glenn Maxwell gets a single from the first ball, but do Afghanistan have a wicket from the next delivery?

Afghanistan launches a confident appeal for LBW with Tim David on strike.

The on-field decision is OUT, but the Aussies ask for a review.

The final decision?

DAVID OUT!

Tim David departs for 2, trapped LBW by Gulbadin.

Matthew Wade is the new Aussie batter out in the middle.

Wade is off the mark from the first ball he faces, before Afghanistan concedes a bye.

Wade gets another single and then Maxwell goes down the ground and SIX!

The ball just makes it over the rope and it's another six to Maxwell, who brings up his 50.

Australia 5-94 after 13 overs.

Glenn Maxwell has been here before, with Australia struggling under intense pressure from Afghanistan.

He goes big and hits a six on the third ball of Rashid Khan's third over.

With the addition of two singles during the 12th over, Australia is 4-84.
