World Cup qualification scenarios: Can Team India make semis after massive loss to Australia?

Team India has done themselves no favours, by losing back-to-back matches in the Women’s World Cup, to South Africa and Australia, despite being in dominant positions. In the SA game, they were blown away by Nadine de Klerk alone, while against AUS, they could not defend 331, with skipper Alyssa Healy scoring 142.

As the situation stands, Harmanpreet Kaur‘s team is suffering on account of poor bowling, and the five-bowler theory. Both don’t seem to be working against top teams. Nonetheless, the tournament isn’t over for them, having played four matches. They have won two — against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and after the SA vs BAN match, are fourth in the points table.

    Matches Left for Team India

    India has three matches left and play England after a long gap, on the 19th, followed by New Zealand encounter on 23rd, and the Bangladesh match on 26th. England has been in top form in the World Cup, and are yet to lose a match, while New Zealand are on a comeback trail, having won one from three.

    As for Bangladesh, one thing is certain, the way India’s middle order has batted, it would be a tough encounter for them.

    Semis Qualification Scenarios for India

    For starters, if India win all their matches, they would surely qualify for the next stage with 10 points. Losses for New Zealand and South Africa in between, will only help India’s chances. On the flipside, if Harman and Co. lose more than a match, they will certainly be thrown out of the home World Cup.

    Things will get tricky if India wins two, and loses one. That would mean that they would end on 8 points, and that is when NRR would come into play.
