How Can India Women Reach Semifinals With Ease
India women's cricket team have one Group A match against Australia remaining, which they will need to win to have a shot for the semifinal spot. India would also hope that both New Zealand and Pakistan lose one of the two remaining matches.
Net run rate will come into play if Australia loses both their matches and in case the Alyssa Healy-led team wins even one of their last two group games, then points won't matter solely.
In Case Of A Three-Way-Tie, How Can India Women's National Cricket Team Qualify?
If Australia loses against India, one team in Pakistan or New Zealand can reach six points, which will make a three-way tie for spot position, where everything will depend on net run rate.

Both New Zealand and Pakistan have an advantage as their match will be the last Group A clash, making net run-rate equations clear for them. Meanwhile, India Women also qualify with four points if Pakistan and New Zealand win only one of their remaining two games despite losing to Australia.
However, India should ensure they either win big or lose with the thinnest margin to have their net run rate in check.
