India’s hunt for the semi-finals continues. After the opening-day loss to New Zealand, the Women in Blue made a strong comeback against Pakistan to keep their hopes alive for the knockouts. India thumped past arch-rivals Pakistan by 6 wickets to extend their wonderful head-to-head record.
With this win, Team India managed to reduce their NRR deficit by 1.6. After the opening game loss, India was placed at the bottom of the standings with an NRR of -2.9. Now India stands on the 4th spot of Group A with an NRR of 1.2. Though India managed to reduce their NRR, Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. wasted a golden opportunity to further fix their run rate.

India went down to chase 106 runs with just 7 balls to spare. Coupled with that, while bowling first India was slapped with a fine for bowling slowly. And now, the fight continues as India has 2 more games that will decide their fate for the semi-finals of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
What does Team India need to do?
Up next, India faces Sri Lanka. India now has a golden chance of improving its NRR further. The dynamics remain ever clear. There is no scope for a hiccup as India will have to win their last 2 matches. The match against the Lankans is likely to be easier. Sri Lanka occupies the last spot after being beaten by Pakistan and Australia.
If India can manage a comprehensive victory, it will take India to 4 points. Following this they take on Australia. In the battle of the giants, it has always been Australia that has dominated India. The Women in Blue will have to beat the Women in Yellow by hook or by crook to reach the last four.
