Despite two back-to-back defeats, India aren’t out of the Women’s World Cup semifinals race. Harmanpreet Kaur’s team is guaranteed qualification is by winning all three of their remaining league matches (against England, New Zealand, and Bangladesh), which would secure them 10 points.

If they manage to win only two of the three matches, reaching 8 points, qualification is highly probable but would depend on their strong Net Run Rate and the results of their rivals, particularly New Zealand. Given the tight race for the final spots, failing to win at least two games would make qualification extremely difficult, forcing India to rely heavily on other teams’ losses.
