After Australia, South Africa has also secured a place in the semi-finals of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, 2022 being played in New Zealand. Today’s league stage match against West Indies was canceled due to rain, due to which South Africa has reached the final-4. He currently has 9 points in the points table of the ICC ODIW World Cup, 2022. Now, his last league match in this round is against India on March 27. In such a situation, West Indies would be praying that India should get defeat in that match.
Significantly, due to the cancellation of today’s match, South Africa and West Indies got 1 point each. This gave South Africa 9 points in 6 matches. South Africa became the second team after Australia to secure a place in the semi-finals. The league stage matches of West Indies are over. He is at the third position in this latest tournament with 7 points from 7 matches played. England and India are at the fourth and fifth positions in the points table.
India’s screw got stuck like this
The latest figures show that, in the matches played so far, the net run rate of the England team is now higher than that of India. Now his last encounter in the league stage is also against Bangladesh, considered a weak team. But, Team India is now at 5th position. In the points table, India’s last match of the league stage will be against South Africa. In such a situation, Mithali Raj and Company will have to beat South Africa at any cost. Even if that match is canceled for some reason, India will still reach with 7 points, because the net run rate of West Indies is less than Team India.
Now there are only two ways for India to enter the semi-finals. Apart from this, if South Africa manages to beat Team India in the next match, Team India’s card will be cut from this latest World Cup. But, there is hope left. India defeated South Africa in the practice match.
