Cricket World Cup Semifinalists Decided as Final Spot Remains Contested
22 Oct
Summary
- Australia, England, and South Africa secure semifinal spots
- India, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka competing for last semifinal berth
- India's match against New Zealand on October 24th crucial for semifinal qualification
On October 23rd, 2025, the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup is nearing its conclusion, with three teams - Australia, England, and South Africa - having already secured their spots in the semifinals. However, the final semifinal berth remains up for grabs, with India, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka still in contention.
India and New Zealand currently sit tied on 4 points each, with India holding a slight advantage in net run rate. Their crucial match on October 24th will be a pivotal moment in determining who advances to the semifinals. If India wins both their remaining matches, against New Zealand and Bangladesh, they will progress to the final four. A victory over the White Ferns on Thursday will also be enough for India, even if they drop their final game of the league stage.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka must defeat Pakistan in their final group match to have any chance of sneaking into the semifinals. They will also require India to lose both their matches and for New Zealand to lose to England.
With the league stage nearing its conclusion, the performances of these three teams in their remaining games will be closely watched as they battle for the final semifinal spot in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup.
