India has so far won two out of three matches in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
So far 14 matches have been played in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup league stage and six matches are still to be played. However, even after 14 matches, the name of even a single team that will reach the semi-finals has not been cleared. The battle to reach the semi-finals is going on between three teams each in Group A and B. In Group A, India and New Zealand are in the race along with Australia.
Australia is almost certain to reach the semi-finals as the team has not lost a single match in the tournament so far. In Group B, the race is going on between West Indies, South Africa and England. In such a situation, now there is a question in the mind of all the Indian fans that if India has to reach the semi-finals, then what will they have to do. So we give you the answer to this question.
Under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur, Team India has so far played three matches in the Women’s T20 World Cup, in which they have won two and lost one. India remains at the second position in the points table with 4 points and a net run rate of +0.576. Team India’s last match of the league stage is against defending champion Australia, which has been performing brilliantly so far in this tournament.
The real challenge between India and the semi-finals is being given by New Zealand, which is at third position with 2 wins and one loss. New Zealand’s remaining two matches are against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Team India ICC Womens T20 World Cup Semi Final Scenario: This is how India can reach the semi-finals
If Team India wants to reach the semi-finals, then they will have to win their last match of the league stage against Australia at any cost. If the team is successful in doing this, they will get 6 points, after which their hopes of reaching the semi-finals will increase significantly. However, if New Zealand also wins both the remaining matches then it will also have 6 points and then the matter will come down to net run rate.
On the other hand, if India has to face defeat at the hands of Australia, then they will have to pray that New Zealand loses at least one of its remaining two matches. Even after this the decision will be taken on the basis of net run rate. At present, India is far ahead of New Zealand in terms of net run rate. India’s net run rate is +0.576 and New Zealand’s is -0.050.
