India is in danger of being eliminated from the Women's T20 World Cup after losing to New Zealand; Know the whole story
Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Semi-Final Scenario: After losing to New Zealand in their very first match of the Women's T20 World Cup, the Indian team is in danger of being eliminated from the tournament. After the very first match, India's net run rate has deteriorated significantly, which could dash Team India's hopes of reaching the semi-finals.
The start of the Indian team in the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 was not so good. India was defeated by New Zealand by 58 runs in the very first match of the tournament. This loss to the Kiwi team has proved big as it has caused widespread damage to India even in the columns of the points table relating to the T20 World Cup. After the first defeat, the net run rate of Team India has reached -2.900, which is the worst among all ten participating teams of the tournament. With this net run rate, the path to the semi-finals can be difficult for India. The first defeat drops India to the bottom in its group.
The coming three games will be against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Australia consecutively. For keeping India in this semi-final race, it will be required to win the next coming three matches of TEAM INDIA. Now, if Team India loses even one match, then they can be ruled out of the World Cup because after that, India will have to depend on the results of other teams.
Against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, India has a very good record. India defeated Pakistan in 12 out of 15 matches, while it defeated Sri Lanka in 19 out of 25 matches, but in a big event like the World Cup, Team India will have to stay away from them. In the T20 World Cup, Pakistan defeated India for 2 times and Sri Lanka for 1 time. If both these teams win an upset this time too, then the Indian team will be in trouble.
The last match of India in this group stage is against Australia, and India has been showing a very poor record for them against Australia. So far, 34 T20 matches have been played between both the teams in which India has won only 7 times. At the same time, both have faced each other six times in the T20 world cup, too, out of which 4 times India has lost.
