Can India still qualify for Women T20 World Cup 2024 Semifinal: There is very little chance of Team India reaching the semi-finals in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. In Group A, India has so far won 2 out of 3 matches and collected four points. In the last match, Team India will face defending champion Australia, which will be played on 13 October. Even before this match, bad news has come for the Kangaroo team and very good news for the Indian team because Australian captain Alyssa Healy has been injured.
Australia is currently on top in Group A with 6 points after winning all its three matches. But meanwhile, the injuries of captain Alyssa Healy and fast bowler Teela Vlaminik have increased the problems of Australia, which has been becoming T20 World Champion for three consecutive times. In the third over of the match against Pakistan, Vlaminik’s ankle got twisted at a strange angle, after which he also suffered a shoulder injury.
Big statement from head coach
Australian team head coach Shelly Nitschke said, “Captain Alyssa Healy has suffered a leg injury. We will have to undergo tests in the next 24 hours. But I believe Taylor’s injury is very disappointing because she returned after a lot of struggle.” And she was playing her first World Cup. The good thing is that all the players of the team are supporting Taylor and Healy.”
What is the equation of semi-finals?
Australia is on top with 6 points after winning all its three matches, while India has won 2 out of 3 matches and is currently in second place with 4 points. Here the role of New Zealand becomes very important, if it wins its next two matches then it will be very difficult for India to reach the semi-finals. If New Zealand wins one of the next two matches, then even if India loses against Australia, it will have to ensure that it does not suffer a major defeat, because at present the net run-rate of Team India is much better than the Kiwi team.
