ICC Women’s World Cup 2022: What India need to qualify for semis after 110-run win over Bangladesh

If India do win their last game against South Africa on Sunday (March 27), they will qualify for the semi-finals. 

Mithali Raj-led Team India defeated Bangladesh by a massive 110-run margin at Seddon Park in Hamilton in their ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 match on Tuesday (March 22). Chasing 230 to win, Bangladesh were bundled out for just 119 in 40.3 overs and India registered their third win of the World Cup. The big win helped India improve their Net-Run-Rate (0.768) further and they are now in third place on the points table with six points from six matches. 

If India do win their last game against South Africa on Sunday (March 27), they will qualify for the semi-finals. However, in case of a loss, the scenario could face an NRR conundrum featuring three sides England, West Indies and India. The Women in Blue are well-placed in that regard as they have a positive net run rate of +0.77. 

Yastika Bhatia’s gritty half-century and Sneh Rana's all-round performance powered India a dominating 110-run win over Bangladesh and kept them in the hunt for a semifinal spot. Opting to bat, India recovered from a mid-inning collapse to post a modest 229 for seven, riding on a responsible 80-ball 50 by Bhatia and a late flourish from Rana (27) and Pooja Vastrakar (30). 

A magnificent win for #TeamIndia
