T20 Women World Cup 2024 Semi-Finals: In a tightly contested match at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday, Australia triumphed over India by just 9 runs, securing their place in the semi-finals of the Women’s T20 World Cup. This loss leaves the Indian women’s team with two wins and two losses in the tournament, creating a nail-biting scenario as they now rely on other teams’ performances to secure a spot in the next round.
Can India Still Qualify for the Semifinals?
Yes, India still has a chance to qualify for the semi-finals, but the path has become increasingly challenging. Currently sitting second in Group A after victories against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, India remains in contention.
New Zealand, positioned third in the group, holds the key to India’s fate. If they defeat Pakistan in their final league match, New Zealand will advance, eliminating India from the tournament. However, if Pakistan manages to upset New Zealand, India could still progress to the semi-finals.
Crucially, India’s superior Net Run Rate (NRR) compared to New Zealand means that a victory for Pakistan would allow India to advance. Therefore, India’s hopes now rest on the performance of Pakistan in their upcoming game.
As the tournament progresses, Indian fans will be eagerly watching the results, hoping for favorable outcomes that will allow their team a shot at the title.
