New Delhi. New Zealand has also broken India’s dream by defeating Pakistan. This news of Women’s T20 World Cup is a few hours old. The latest news is that the semi-final lineup of the Women’s T20 World Cup will be decided today on Tuesday. Australia and New Zealand have reached the semi-finals from Group A. There are 3 teams in the race for the semi-finals from Group B. The fate of these 3 teams will be decided by the match between England and West Indies.
Bangladesh and Scotland out
There is a match between England and West Indies in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on Tuesday. This is the last group match of the tournament. This will decide the teams going to the semi-finals from Group B. Currently, England, West Indies and South Africa are in this race from Group B. The remaining two teams of the group, Bangladesh and Scotland, are out of the race for the semi-finals.
To understand the equation of Group B, it is important to look at the points table. England is at number one with 6 points and 1.716 net run rate. South Africa is at second place with 6 points and 1.382 net run rate. West Indies is at third place with 4 points and 1.708 net run rate. Bangladesh (2) and Scotland (0) are out of the semi-finals.
If England wins, West Indies will be out
It is clear that there is not much difference in the net run rates of England, South Africa and West Indies in Group B. If England wins on Tuesday then it will have 8 points. If this happens, along with England, South Africa will also easily reach the semi-finals.
If West Indies wins then it will be on top of the group
If West Indies team defeats England then it will reach number one in Group B. If this happens, West Indies, England and South Africa will have 6 points each. West Indies has the highest net run rate. In such a situation, if England is defeated then it is certain to play the semi-finals. But if this happens, only one team, England and South Africa, will play the semi-finals. There is not much difference between the net run rates of England and South Africa. If the West Indies team wins by about 25 runs on Tuesday, then England’s net run rate will be less than that of South Africa. This means that the team which is on top on Monday can also slip to third place on Tuesday. But if the margin of defeat of England 1 is less then they will play the semi-finals even after losing. Overall, Tuesday is going to be an interesting day in the Women’s World Cup.
