Under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian women’s team has defeated Bangladesh. This is India’s third win in this tournament, bringing it very close to reaching the semi-finals. On the other hand, South Africa has also strengthened itself in the race for the semi-finals by defeating Netherlands by a huge margin. Now both India and South Africa have 6 points each, but due to better net run rate, Team India is at second place and South Africa is at third place. Now only one match is left for both the teams, only after which it will be decided which team will go to the semi-finals. In this 12-team tournament, so far only the host team England has been able to secure its place in the semi-finals.
Team India will have to defeat Australia in case of defeat.
In the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, the Indian team is above South Africa in the points table after playing 4 matches, but the path to the semi-finals is still not easy for them. Currently, South Africa is considered a strong contender for the semi-finals because its last match is against Bangladesh, which it can easily win. On the other hand, India’s last match is against the strong Australian team on June 28. If the Indian team loses this match, it may be out of the World Cup. Therefore, to make it to the semi-finals, India will have to defeat Australia at any cost.
South Africa’s next match will be against Bangladesh
South Africa’s chances of reaching the semi-finals are also high because their next and last match is to be played against Bangladesh, South Africa is considered to be the favorite to win this match. On the other hand, if the Indian team loses to Australia in its last match and South Africa wins its match, then India will be out of this tournament and South Africa will reach the semi-finals. On the other hand, if both the teams are successful in winning their last match, then in that situation India has more chances of getting the semi-final ticket because their net run rate is much better than South Africa.
Team India is ahead of South Africa in the points table
In Group A, currently the Australian team is at the first position in the points table with 4 wins and 8 points in 4 matches. Team India is at second place. Indian team currently has 6 points in its account with 3 wins in 4 matches. South Africa also has 6 points with 3 wins and is at third place in the points table. The run rate of Team India is +2.268, while the run rate of the African team is currently +0.734. Now it remains to be seen which two teams from this group succeed in reaching the semi-finals.
