Australia have been knocked out of the Twenty20 cricket World Cup before even finishing their group stage fixtures after Zimbabwe’s match with Ireland in Sri Lanka was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
With each side taking a point from the rained-off tie Australia, on two points, can no longer catch Zimbabwe, on five, even if they win their final match against Oman on Friday.
