With match number 7 of Women’s T20 WC done and dusted, India came out on top against arch-rivals Pakistan. From the tournament perspective, the win was extremely important, especially after the humiliating loss India faced against New Zealand, which they lost by 58 runs. Looking at all the scenarios, the Women in Blue need to win all their matches, just as they did today against Pakistan. Although they had a chance to win by a good margin, but they achieved 106-run target with seven balls to spare.
This was the reason why, despite winning the game, India is still below Pakistan, sitting in fourth place in the points table, with New Zealand and Australia at the top. It is important to note that only the top two teams from both groups will advance to the semi-finals. For India, the two upcoming matches are must-wins, one against Sri Lanka and one against Australia. If they are looking to move forward, they need to dismantle teams like Sri Lanka, who are surely not easy to tackle, as they are currently the Asian champions and India faced defeat against them in the finals. However, if India can produce an impressive run rate, their chances of getting into the top two will increase. Let’s see what the points table of each group says.
