New Delhi. The Indian cricket team will now have to rely on luck to reach the semi-finals of the Women's T20 World Cup. After the defeat against Australia, the Indian team has shot itself in the foot. With this defeat, India has 4 points from 2 matches and is second above New Zealand in Group A on the basis of better net run rate. New Zealand also has four points from 2 wins but its net run rate is less than India. The Indian team will pray for victory for Pakistan in the Pakistan vs New Zealand match on Monday, whose net run rate is in minus. If Pakistan is successful in defeating New Zealand, then India will easily reach the semi-finals with the help of better run rate.
India started the World Cup with a defeat. In the first match, New Zealand defeated them by 58 runs. After which Team India's hopes of reaching the semi-finals got a big blow. After this, India returned to the winning track by defeating Pakistan and Sri Lanka. But after the defeat in the last over against world champion Australia in a do-or-die match, their hopes of reaching the semi-finals have got a big blow.
Amazing drama in the last over… 5 wickets were left… 14 runs were needed from 6 balls, yet Team India lost.
Not only Mohammed Siraj… these 8 cricketers are also government officials, you will be surprised to know Dhoni's position
Eyes will be on New Zealand vs Pakistan match
Current champion Australia tried to tarnish India's entry into the last 4 by defeating them by 9 runs. Now Team India will be keeping its eyes on the last league match of Group A between New Zealand and Pakistan on Monday. New Zealand is at third position below India with 4 points. Pakistan team is sitting at fourth position with 2 points.
These are the interesting equations to make it to the semi-finals from Group A.
If New Zealand defeats Pakistan then the Indian team will be out. And from the group, the teams of Australia and New Zealand will reach the semi-finals. If Pakistan defeats New Zealand by a big margin then the issue of net run rate will be stuck between New Zealand and India. In such a situation, Pakistan team will give India a ticket for the semi-finals. Because the net run rate of Kiwi team is less than India. If Pakistan wins comfortably then the net run rates of India, Pakistan and New Zealand will be seen. In this situation all three teams will have equal 4-4 points. In such a situation, the Indian team will get the ticket for the semi-finals on the basis of better net run rate.
