The final group stage match of the 2026 T20 World Cup sees Australia take on India in a high-stakes encounter. For Australia, the path to the semi-finals is almost secure, barring an extraordinarily heavy defeat. For India, this match is effectively a quarter-final: victory guarantees progress, while defeat, combined with a South Africa win over Bangladesh, would end their tournament.

As of the latest updates, South Africa need 26 runs off the final four overs against Bangladesh, which would eliminate India if they lose to Australia.
