What is the Indian women's team's current position in the points table?
Looking at the way the Harmanpreet Kaur-led outfit is performing on the cricket field, it safe to say that they are the second-most favorites to lift that Women's World Cup trophy. They are also sitting at the top of the standings with four points to their name. They still have to participate in six more matches, facing the likes of South Africa, Australia, England, New Zealand, West Indies, and Bangladesh. All of these teams are very strong. If the Women in Blue want to triumph over them and book their spot in the final, then strong performances from all players will have to be delivered.
How many matches does Team India need to win to qualify?
To make it to the final of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025, the Indian women's team will need to perform brilliantly in all upcoming matches. Currently, Team India leads the standings with four points, but they will need to reign supreme in atleast four more contests to secure a berth in the final. If the Indian girls win four out of six matches, they will have 12 points. This could be enough to reach the final. Furthermore, Net-Run-Rate (NRR) will also need to be considered, as there are no semi-final matches scheduled to be played in this competition. The top two teams will directly advance to the final.
Australia and England are also strong contenders for the final
In addition to India, the women's teams of Australia and England are also considered strong contenders for the final. Australia has won seven ODI World Cup trophies and is also the defending champion. England has also won the World Cup four times. This statistic gives an idea of how dangerous both teams are. If India wants to make it to the final and win its first World Cup trophy, it will have to perform at a top level against these two teams.
