Glenn Maxwell battled through injury to hit a sensational double century against Afghanistan and guide Australia into the 2023 Cricket World Cup semi-finals as Australia wins by 3 wickets.

Australia's sixth win in a row sees them join India and South Africa in the final four.

One of New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan will claim the final knockout spot – as all three sides are currently on eight points - with the group stage finishing on Sunday.

While India and South Africa are safely into the last four, Australia and New Zealand currently occupy the remaining qualification positions.

But the chasing pack know a late run of results could see them make it through instead.

The top seven will also qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy alongside hosts Pakistan, though the eighth place will be enough if Pakistan seals a top-seven finish.

The first semi-final will be played on the 15th of November at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, India while the second semi-final will be played on the 16th of November.

In today's match, England will face the Netherlands at 8.30 tonight.
