    Twitter Reactions: India misses out on a semifinal spot as New Zealand knocks out Pakistan in Women’s T20 World Cup 2024

    India‘s journey in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 came to a disheartening conclusion as the team was knocked out in the group stage for the first time in eight years. Harmanpreet Kaur‘s side, considered one of the favorites, faced a nine-run defeat against Australia. India’s fate was sealed when New Zealand clinched a crucial 54-run victory over Pakistan in their final group match on Monday (October 14), securing their spot in the semifinals and eliminating India from the tournament.

    New Zealand’s victory over Pakistan seals India’s elimination

    New Zealand’s victory over Pakistan was the pivotal moment that ended India’s World Cup campaign. In their final group-stage match, New Zealand posted a modest total of 111 runs at the Dubai International Stadium, setting a tricky chase for Pakistan. The White Ferns’ bowlers, led by Amelia Kerr, displayed a stellar performance to bowl Pakistan out for a mere 56 runs. Kerr’s three-wicket haul, combined with the tight bowling from the rest of the New Zealand attack, dismantled Pakistan’s hopes of advancing to the semifinals. Pakistan had a slim chance of making it through, needing to chase the target in just 10.4 overs, but New Zealand’s disciplined bowling ensured their victory, knocking both Pakistan and India out of the tournament.

    A tough end to India’s campaign in Women’s T20 World Cup 2024

    India’s elimination marked their earliest exit from the T20 World Cup since their group-stage finishes in 2012, 2014, and 2016. The team managed two wins out of four matches but failed to capitalize on key moments, especially in tight chases against New Zealand and Australia. Despite being one of the pre-tournament favorites, India struggled under pressure, raising concerns about their preparation and approach in high-stakes matches.

    After losing to Australia, India’s hopes rested on Pakistan defeating New Zealand to create a three-way tie in Group A, where India’s superior net run rate (NRR) would have secured them a semifinal spot. However, with New Zealand’s comprehensive win over Pakistan, both India and Pakistan were eliminated, marking a disappointing end to India’s campaign, which had promised much more.
