This is disappointing for the entire team. I am very proud of all the team members. We saw players who didn’t play much in this World Cup and I think as a group we came together and exceeded expectations. We were successful in proving a lot of people wrong. Haley Matthews praised Deandra Dottin. He took four wickets for 22 runs in the first four overs spell. Then played an inning of 33 runs in 22 balls, which included 3 sixes. It seemed as if it could never slip out of our hands. The game changed after a few boundaries and it showed when Deandra hit some shots at midwicket. Unfortunately, she was out after that. He played brilliantly with the ball first and then made sure we got opportunities with the bat as well.

Let us tell you that in this match, South Africa has defeated 6-time world champion Australia by 8 wickets and thrown them out of the tournament. Along with this, South Africa also took revenge for the defeat suffered by Australia in the final of the last T20 World Cup. Batting first, Australia scored 134 runs at the loss of five wickets in 20 overs.

Tahlia McGrath gave a big statement Let us tell you that after losing to South Africa by 8 wickets in the first semi-final of the Women’s T20 World Cup, Tahlia McGrath said after the end of the match – It will be very difficult to take this defeat. We didn’t really perform tonight. You can’t afford to do that in a tournament like this. Full credit to South Africa, they beat us tonight. This World Cup has been on our minds for a long time. We worked really hard in the off-season, fixing some things. We were really ready to come here. Felt like we left no stone unturned, we just didn’t perform well tonight. We found it very difficult, South Africa bowled very well, slowed down the pace and they made it difficult for us to take risks. After half the game, we thought it was 140-150, but South Africa batted so well and it felt like it was a completely different wicket.
T20 World Cup Semi Final Scenario: How can the Indian team reach the semi-finals of the tournament, know the complete equation
India has so far won two out of three matches in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. Team India Womens (Photo Source: 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.

Now only through the results of the remaining group stage matches, it will be known which two teams qualify for the top 4 in Group A. Know about Group A here At present in Group A, Australia’s net run rate is much higher than India and that is why the team is at the first position in the points table. Australia now has to play its remaining two matches against Pakistan and India. The New Zealand team also has two more matches to play and it can also secure its place in the semi-finals. In this way, Team India can secure its place in the semi-finals. Scenario 1: Australia must defeat Pakistan If Australia women’s team defeats Pakistan, they will get 6 points and will secure their place in the semi-finals. On the other hand, Pakistan team will have to defeat New Zealand by a big margin in their last group match. Not only this, Team India will also have to defeat Australia in its final match. If New Zealand wins its remaining matches, they will also have normal points and the semi-finals will be decided on the basis of net run rate. Scenario 2: If Pakistan beats Australia If Pakistan team beats Australia then this group will become even more exciting. Australia, India and Pakistan will have four points each. After this, it will be very important for India to defeat Australia to retain its place in the semi-finals.

Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: Very tough group, but we hope we can reach the semi-finals: Laura Wolvaardt
Apart from South Africa, Group B has teams like Bangladesh, England, West Indies and Scotland. Laura Wolvaardt. (Photo Source: ICC) Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: The 9th season of ICC Women’s T20 has started in UAE from 3rd October. So today, on October 4, last season’s finalist South Africa is going to face the West Indies cricket team. Let us tell you that this match between the two teams will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. So, before the start of this match, a big statement has come out from South Africa’s captain and veteran wicketkeeper batsman Laura Wolvaardt. Laura says that she is hopeful that despite being in a difficult group, her team can reach the semi-finals. Laura Wolvaardt gave a big statement Let us tell you that before South Africa’s match against West Indies, Laura Bulfart said in the ICC quote – I think T20 cricket is a game of unstable format. I think obviously last year, the last time, was pretty good, but we’re just taking it one game at a time. Obviously our group is a very difficult group, but hopefully we can get to the semi-finals and then anything beyond that can happen. It is noteworthy that the last time the T20 World Cup was hosted by South Africa, South Africa had made it to the finals. This was the first time that South Africa had reached the final of a Women’s World Cup, but had to face defeat at the hands of Australia. However, now when South Africa will play its first match of T20 World Cup against West Indies on October 4, it will be worth seeing how it is going to perform? But if we look at the stats, West Indies is ahead of South Africa by 14-7 in T20 format. But more than T20 cricket stats, the match is decided by how the teams play on that day.
