How is it going in Group 2?
| POS | CREW | CHEEK | WON | LOST | N/R | RELATED | RR NET | POINTS |
| 1 | England | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | +1.776 | 6 |
| 2 | India | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | +0.205 | 4 |
| 3 | Pakistan | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | +1.542 | 2 |
| 4 | West Indies | 3 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | -0.913 | 2 |
| 5 | Ireland | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | -1.989 | 0 |
India had a chance to seal the deal in Group 2. But despite Smriti Mandhana’s half-century, India failed to run 152 points. This opened up all of Group 2. England are in pole position with 3 wins from 3 games. But they too did not secure their place in the semi-finals.
Pakistan are two games behind while the West Indies are also 2 points from 3 games. For India to qualify, it must beat Ireland while hoping that Pakistan loses at least one game out of the remaining 2. But either way, Harmanpreet Kaur & Co will be watching the Pakistan vs WestIndies game closely.
How can India qualify for the semi-finals?
Scenario 1: If West Indies beat Pakistan
- If West Indies beat Pakistan today in their last match, it will give India a huge boost. But that won’t guarantee them a place.
- The Windies will equalize India with 4 points but Pakistan will still have an advantage as they will have one game less.
- WI will still bow out as they are on an NRR of -0.913.
- The Windies can qualify with 4 points if Pakistan lose to England and India lose to Ireland by big margins.
Scenario 2: If Pakistan defeats West Indies –
- A victory for Pakistan against the West Indies will complicate things for India.
- Pakistan will go level on 4 points with India and take 2nd place in Group 2 based on better NRR.
- However, it will not be the end of the world for India.
- The final group game on Tuesday will decide who goes through.

Scenario 3: If India beat Ireland –
- India will be in a good position to qualify for the semi-finals if they beat Ireland on Monday.
- It will take India to 6 points from 4 games, level with England.
- But that won’t guarantee them a place in the semi-finals.
- India will have to rely on the results of the England vs Pakistan game.
Scenario 3: If Ireland beat India
- India can still qualify with a loss to Ireland.
- But India will have to rely on England to beat Pakistan by a huge margin to even have a chance of making it to the semi-finals.
- Pakistan has an NRR of +1.542 while India is on +0.205.
- Therefore, it will be almost impossible for India to overtake Pakistan.
However, even if India qualify for the semi-finals as the second team from Group 2, their last hopes will be in jeopardy. The second-placed team from Group 2 will face powerhouse Australia in the semi-finals. Australia are assured of first place in Group 1 after winning all four matches.
Given India’s recent record against Australia, they will want to avoid the world No.1 T20 team. Australia have lost just two matches since 2020 in regular time. India suffered a humiliating defeat in the final of the Commonwealth Games. Australia also handed India a comprehensive 4-1 loss in the Indian series. India could only win one game in Super Over.
