Mon Oct 14 21:24:21 UTC 2024: ## India’s Women’s Cricket World Cup Dream Ends in the Group Stage
The Indian Women’s Cricket team was eliminated from the World Cup after failing to secure a spot in the semi-finals. Despite winning two consecutive matches after a loss to New Zealand in their opening game, a defeat against Australia proved to be a major setback. Ultimately, India’s fate rested on Pakistan’s match against New Zealand, which India needed Pakistan to win.
Pakistan put up a strong fight against New Zealand, limiting them to 110 runs. However, despite needing just 111 runs for victory, Pakistan fell short by 54 runs.
This loss eliminated both Pakistan and India from the tournament, leaving New Zealand to advance to the semi-finals. This marks the first time since 2016 that the Indian Women’s team failed to reach the knockout stages, while New Zealand returns to the semi-finals after an absence since 2016.
