If India win two matches and lose one match
In case India win two matches and lose one, in this event, the Women in Blue will have to rely on other results as their head-to-head match against New Zealand will be key. In this scenario, India win against England and lose against New Zealand, they will need the Kiwis to lose at least one of their remaining matches.
If India win one and lose two matches
In case India win only one of their remaining three matches, the Women in Blue will be out of contention for a semi-spot. India will have six points in this scenario, but will almost need a miracle and a set of results to go their way to qualify for the semis.
