Women's T20 World Cup Semi-Final Scenario:  The excitement of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 is slowly reaching its peak. The Indian cricket team made a comeback after losing the first match against New Zealand and opened its account by defeating Pakistan. However, it is not easy for India to reach the semi-finals right now. Qualifying for the semi-finals from the group stage of the tournament is still very difficult. New Zealand will take on Australia in the T20 World Cup match on Tuesday (October 8). All eyes will be on this match. 

Team India will support New Zealand.

The interesting thing is that today the Indian team will be seen supporting the team against which it lost in the first match. To reach the semi-finals, it needs the Kiwi team to win. Even if the Indian team wins its remaining matches in the Women's T20 World Cup group stage, reaching the semi-finals is not guaranteed. The main reason behind this kind of equation is the team's poor net run rate of -1.217.

Australia-New Zealand in top form

Australia and New Zealand are in top form in the tournament, their net run rate is +1.908 and +2.900 respectively. India has already faced defeat against New Zealand. If Australia wins then Team India's hopes will increase. After this, India will have to win both its remaining matches against Sri Lanka and Australia. In such a situation, the hopes of reaching the semi-finals will increase.

What happens if New Zealand wins?

Suppose New Zealand wins its remaining matches, then it will be in the first position in the group with 4 wins in 4 matches. After Australia, New Zealand has to play against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. New Zealand's 4 wins will open the way for India. It can qualify by defeating Sri Lanka and Australia.

What will happen if the Australian team wins?

If Australia defeats New Zealand, India's chances of qualifying will take a big blow. Both Australia and New Zealand have a better net run rate than India. Harmanpreet's team will need some upsets to qualify for the next round.
