First Defeat For Indian Women in ICC Women’s World Cup, Big Shuffle In The Points Table

New Zealand defeated the Indian team by 62 runs in the 8th match of the Women’s World Cup. India had a target of 261 runs, in response to which the team was all out for 198 in 46.4 overs.

Harmanpreet Kaur (71) was the top scorer for India. At the same time, Mithali Raj scored 31 runs. Mithali’s innings was very slow, which is also being criticised a lot. Team India started the tournament against Pakistan with a victory in the first match.

In the latest points table of the Women’s World Cup, the Indian team has slipped to number 5. Team India has two points in two matches. Although the good thing is that his net run rate is 0.450.

The problem for Team India is that now they have to play against teams like West Indies, Australia, England and South Africa.

Team India will have to win these matches because now one or two defeats will put them out of the way to the semi-finals as well.

Australia is at the top of the points table with two wins from two matches. He has 4 points and also has a net run rate of 1.061. The New Zealand team has won 2 in 3 matches.

The Indian team has not been able to win a single World Cup till date. This time Team India is being considered as the favourite to win the World Cup.

In such a situation, the team will have to work hard in the upcoming matches. Especially the batsmen of the team will have to pay attention.

Whether it is a match against New Zealand or a match against Pakistan, the upper order of Team India has not been able to perform much.
