As i said before the Ind W team is not qualifying. Same errors all the time- poor fielding , dropped catches, poor keeping, mediocre fitness, lack od intent in batting, smiriti mandana hogging strike wasting balls, shefali never consitent 10 or 20s not enough.. Aus will hammer Ind here.. Ind W are getting nowhere near this target
 
Australia have qualified for the semi finals of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024

They have become the first team to do so

Healy hopes for quick recovery as captain misses India

Skipper Alyssa Healy arrived on crutches for the team's final Group A clash against India on Sunday, but could yet return in the tournament.

Alyssa Healy, who pulled up during Friday's fixture against Pakistan while attempting a single, hobbled off the field with an "acute injury to her right foot".

The skipper arrived on crutches for the clash against India in Sharjah and will miss the clash with Tahlia McGrath set to lead the side. Ellyse Perry will be the vice-captain.

Cricket Australia provided an update ahead of the India game.

"Alyssa Healy is unavailable for tonight’s game after suffering a foot injury on Friday night. She will continue to be assessed over the coming days and should Australia qualify for the semi-finals, her availability will be determined in due course."

"Alyssa sustained an acute right foot injury while running between wickets," a release by Cricket Australia had stated after the Pakistan game.

"Once we have more information based on her assessment and scans tomorrow, her availability for the remainder of the tournament will be clearer."

Meanwhile, Australia's other injury concern, Tayla Vlaeminck, will miss the remainder of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup due to a dislocated shoulder. Heather Graham has been approved as a replacement in the squad.

A win against India would see Australia seal a spot in the semi-final, although other results would determine which semi-final the defending champions play.

 
BCCI should stop sending these clowns for any tournament. They have no game sense at all.. Dropping simple catches all the time and choking everytime possible.

13 needed in 3 balls and Harmanpreet took single 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️.
Shreyanka faced wide ball, instead of giving strike back to Kaur, she was looking at the keeper 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Equal pay. My foot..
I hate indian woman cricket team.
 
So now, India would want the Pakistan women to beat NZ. If Pakistan beats NZ, India goes through to the SF. If NZ beats Pak, India is out of the tournament.

What a turnaround from the men's ODI WC, where PAK badly wanted India to win one of the preliminary games , and accused India of deliberately throwing the game when they lost. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

True, none of them seem to be able to come anywhere close to Mithali Raj, who was one terrific player. She could have even walked into the men's team.

Not even bothered. It has less chance than babar azam scoring a 20 in the next match.
Pak sisters will try their best but the skill gap is huge.
 
Smriti mandana is one of the biggest mental midget of our time

She looks classy and elegant in all these bilaterals with tons of runs but when it matters in big tournaments she never fail to disappoints

Shes like KLRahul. Even in the WPL - it was mainly Elise Perry who was guiding her. And she wastes so many balls in PP , so many dots. A total misfit as an opener
 
Australia secured their place in the Women's T20 World Cup semi-finals with a nine-run win over India, who face a nervous wait to see if they will join them in the final four.

The defending champions are certain of topping Group A after winning all four games, but second-placed India need New Zealand to lose to Pakistan on Monday and stay ahead of both sides on net run-rate (NRR) to progress.

Needing 152 to win and backed by a large and raucous crowd in Sharjah, India batted aggressively and gamely kept up with the rate.

They needed 14 to win off the final over thanks to an excellent 54 from 47 balls from captain Harmanpreet Kaur.

But Australia seamer Annabel Sutherland held her nerve, with her over costing just four runs for the loss of three wickets to seal the win.

Australia, who were without injured captain Alyssa Healy, earlier recovered from the loss of two early wickets to post 151-8 - their highest score of the tournament.

Opener Grace Harris top-scored with 40 from 41 balls, while Ellyse Perry and stand-in captain Tahlia McGrath each added 32.

Australia have been imperious in the tournament so far, but their preparations for this game were hampered by injuries to Healy and Tayla Vlaeminck.

Fast bowler Vlaeminck is out of the tournament with a dislocated shoulder but Healy - who arrived at the stadium on crutches - has not been ruled out and will continue to have a foot injury assessed.

But such is Australia's strength in depth those injuries failed to disrupt their seemingly unstoppable march towards a seventh Women's T20 World Cup title.

The Southern Stars were reduced to 17-2 when Renuka Singh Thakur removed Beth Mooney and Georgia Wareham in successive balls, only for Harris and McGrath put on 62 for the third wicket.

Another wobble saw Australia slip from 79-2 to 101-5 but Perry and Phoebe Litchfield, whose 15 from nine balls included a booming six over square leg, helped them finish with a flourish.

India began aggressively and reached 41-2 at the end of the powerplay, ahead of where Australia were at the same stage.

They were smothered by Australia's spinners in the middle overs before a fourth-wicket partnership worth 63 between Harmanpreet and Deepti Sharma, who hit 29 from 25, raised hopes of a spectacular win.

Despite falling just short, India could still reach the semi-finals. But if they are eliminated it will be their performances earlier in the tournament and not here that did the damage.
 
Asian women cricketers are just not at the level of fitness or quality that Eng/Aus women cricketers are.

Its like watching proper athletes go up against a couple of talented players and a rag tag bunch of schoolgirls and amateurs.

I hear that there are cultural issues at play and there are on record feedbacks from team nutritionists that some of the ICT women players are reluctant to increase caloric intake and adopt bulking programs in offseason preferring to focus on S&C. I am pretty sure such resistance will likely be replicated across Bang/Pak/SL teams as well.
 
Can Pakistan team still go through the semi final or they are already eliminated?

Someone please post scenario for Pakistan qualification for tomorrow match? By how many runs or wickets they must win in order to go through to semi finals?

Today's fixture in the ICC Womens T20 World Cup, 2024:

England Women vs West Indies Women, 20th Match, Group B
02:00 PM GMT
 
West Indies Women chased down 142, scoring 144/4 in 18 overs to beat England Women by 6 wickets. They won with 12 balls to spare.
 
Sloppy England stunned by Windies to exit T20 World Cup

England were knocked out of the Women's T20 World Cup at the end of the group stage after a sloppy all-round performance against West Indies in Dubai.

They dropped five catches - all off opener Qiana Joseph - as West Indies produced a stunning run chase of 142 to reach the semi-finals at England's expense.

Joseph was first dropped on six and then 31 and 35 before departing for a crucial 52 from 38 balls, while captain Hayley Matthews also added a half-century in an opening stand of 102.

The pair blasted 67-0 off the powerplay as England wilted under pressure, reminiscent of their semi-final defeat by South Africa in the 2023 tournament.

Sophia Dunkley missed the first chance to dismiss Joseph on the square-leg boundary, before Alice Capsey dropped a simple chance at cover and Maia Bouchier proceeded to put down three opportunities.

Both Joseph and Matthews departed inside two overs to give England hope, but Deandra Dottin's cameo of 27 from 19 balls swung momentum back in West Indies' favour.

England's 141-7 looked competitive at the halfway stage, with Nat Sciver-Brunt's unbeaten 57 from 50 providing the backbone.

But England were dealt a cruel blow when captain Heather Knight retired hurt with a tight calf on 21, and her absence was sorely felt in the field as the side could not cope with West Indies' aggression.

It is West Indies' first T20 win over England since 2018, and the first time England have failed to make it out of the group stage of the tournament since 2010.

The semi-finals will take place between South Africa and defending champions Australia on Thursday, followed by West Indies v New Zealand on Friday.
