New Delhi. The race for the semi-finals in the Women's T20 World Cup has become interesting. India is in Group A of this tournament. Australia is at first position in this group with 4 points. It is almost certain that he will play the semi-finals. India, Pakistan and New Zealand have equal points (2). There is a tough competition between these three teams in the race for the semi-finals.
The race for the semi-finals of Group A in the Women's T20 World Cup can reach a decisive stage on Friday, October 11. There is a competition between Australia and Pakistan on this day. Australia is a contender for victory. Pakistan captain Fatima Sana is not playing in this match. This has further weakened his victory claim.
PAK vs ENG: The most shameful defeat in 147 years, the British left Pakistan unable to show its face after scoring 556 runs.
If Australia wins this match then it will have 6 points. Australia's net run rate (2.524) is already much better. That means victory over Pakistan will seal their semi-final ticket. On the other hand, Pakistan team has already lost to India. If it loses to Australia, its hopes of reaching the semi-finals will be greatly weakened. This will ensure that she cannot progress beyond 4 points in the tournament. Its net run rate is already lower than Australia and India (0.576). Currently Pakistan's net run rate is 0.555.
New Zealand is also giving competition
Despite being at fourth place in the points table, New Zealand is also firmly in the race for the semi-finals. He currently has 2 points and negative net run rate (−0.050). New Zealand still has two matches left. It has to play Pakistan and Sri Lanka, which are the two weakest teams in the group. In such a situation, it is not a big deal that New Zealand reaches 6 points and also improves its net run rate.
What is the easiest way for India?
The easiest way for India to reach the semi-finals is to defeat Australia in its last group match. This match is to be held on 13 October. If India wins then it will get 6 points. His net run rate is already fine. It will be even better with a win. However, New Zealand and Pakistan will still have a chance to oust India.
