CWC 2025: India, NZ fight for semi-final spot

The pressure is mounting on the Indian women’s team like never before. After three consecutive defeats in matches that could easily have gone their way, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side finds itself under increasing scrutiny, and five games into the tournament, they are still searching for the right combination. Yet, as they return to more familiar conditions in Navi Mumbai, a venue several players know well from the WPL and T20Is, the equation is simple, beat New Zealand and virtually secure a place in the semifinals.
Tied with the White Ferns and Sri Lanka on four points, but ahead of their opponents on net run rate, a victory over New Zealand will take Harmanpreet’s team to six points and winning their last league match against Bangladesh at the same venue on Sunday will propel them to eight points and seal their berth in the semifinals, as New Zealand can then best reach six points by defeating the already qualified England.
