At the moment, the Women in Blue are the second-best team in Group A, securing four points from three games. If Harmanpreet Kaur and her team manage to beat Australia on Sunday, they will only need to hope that Pakistan does not lose to New Zealand by a huge margin, which could allow New Zealand to surpass India in net run rate and secure a place in the semifinals. A win for Pakistan will take India directly to the semifinals, as they will have 6 points, while New Zealand and Pakistan will finish with 4 points each.
If Australia beat India
If India lose to Australia on Sunday, they must hope the margin is not too large, as they will need the net run rate advantage to qualify. After losing to Australia, they will need Pakistan to beat New Zealand in such a way that both teams’ net run rates remain inferior to India’s. With all three teams tied on 4 points, India can still qualify for the semifinals. However, if New Zealand beat Pakistan, India’s journey in the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE will end.
