Former champions eliminated before final group match
Zimbabwe go through to Super 8 phase
Australia have been knocked out of the T20 World Cup after Zimbabwe’s match against Ireland was washed out.
With each side taking a point from the rained-off match it means Australia, who have two points, can no longer catch Zimbabwe, on five, even if they win their final match against Oman on Friday (Saturday 0030 AEDT).
The writing was on the wall for Australia after they lost first to Zimbabwe and then Sri Lanka and had to bank on Ireland beating Zimbabwe on Tuesday.
