The semi-final battle in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup-2022 has become very interesting. Where Australia’s team has secured a place in the semi-finals by winning their first 5 matches. At the same time, the team of South Africa is second in this race, which has to win just one more match to make it to the last-4. On the other hand, Pakistan women’s team registered a win against West Indies today. This was Pakistan’s first win in this tournament. But, this win may have brought an earthquake in the points table.
If we see, West Indies are on the third advantage in the points table of ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup-2022. He has played 6 matches so far in this latest tournament out of which he has won 3 matches and lost 3 matches. Now his next match is against South Africa. Significantly, after licking dust in 4 consecutive matches, Pakistan have opened their account of victory by defeating West Indies by 8 wickets. The Pakistan team is yet to play against England and New Zealand.
What is the equation of the last 4 saying
Talking about making a place in the semi-finals of ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup-2022, then one team is sure. But at the moment no team can be called out of the race. That is, all the remaining 7 teams will give their lives to make a place. If Pakistan team wins the remaining 2 matches by a good margin, and if the Indian team manages to beat Bangladesh and South Africa, then India has a chance of reaching the semi-finals, that is, the hopes of reaching the last-4 .

But, even if the Indian team loses to South Africa, and Pakistan wins both their matches, the Indian team will still be ahead because of the better net run rate and can make it to the semi-finals. On the other hand, South Africa are yet to play matches against Australia, West Indies and India. If South Africa’s team wins even a single match, then it will confirm its place in the last-4. The road to Bangladesh is tough. Bangladesh has played a total of 4 matches in this tournament so far, in which they have won only one. But, she has 3 more matches in front of her, in which she can move forward with victory. He is yet to play India, Australia and England.

On the other hand, the road of New Zealand is also fraught with difficulties. He just has to play 1 match and play for Pakistan. Even if the New Zealand team manages to win this match, it will still have 6 points (they have a poor net run rate in this tournament and are in negative situations). To reach the net run rate plus, New Zealand will have to win by a huge margin. Talking about England, they are yet to play against Pakistan and Bangladesh. By winning both the matches, they can become the third team in the semi-finals.
At present, the West Indies team, which is ranked third, has a very bad net run rate. If South Africa beat West Indies in the next match, then their last-4 hopes could be dashed. But, if the West Indies team wins, the road could be tough for India and England. It is worth noting that under the captaincy of Mithali Raj Captain Team India, India has won two of the 5 matches played so far. But, the net run rate of the Indian team is the best after Australia, who are at the top of the points table of ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup-2022. That is, the hopes of the Indian team are still intact.
