India started the Women’s World Cup 2025 with a win, defeating Sri Lanka in the first match and Pakistan in the second. But after this Harmanpreet Kaur and team yearned for victory, first South Africa then Australia and on Sunday England defeated Team India. All three teams that have defeated India have confirmed their place in the World Cup semi-finals. Now only 1 team has qualified, so what does Team India need for that? Know.
How can Team India reach the semi-finals?
Even after the defeat against England, the path to the semi-finals is not closed for the Indian team. But now it will be fight or die. India has played 5 matches, the team has 4 points with 2 wins and 3 losses and is at fourth position in the points table. New Zealand also has 4 points, although its net run rate is less than India. India is not dependent on the other team right now, it still has 2 matches left.
India’s next 2 matches are with New Zealand and Bangladesh, Bangladesh is not that big a problem but New Zealand is a strong team and Team India will have to give its all to defeat them. By winning both these matches, India will confirm its place in the semi-finals.
What if Team India loses 1 match?
But then the question arises that what will happen if India loses 1 out of 2 matches. If India loses one match then it will have to depend on the performance of New Zealand, along with which it will have to win one of its matches by a big margin.
- 23 October- vs new zealand
- 26 October- vs bangladesh
If India loses to New Zealand then India will have only 4 points and New Zealand will have 6 points. New Zealand’s last match is against England, if New Zealand wins that match then it will get the semi-final ticket and India will be out whereas if New Zealand loses that match and India wins its next match then the decision will be taken on the basis of net run rate.
