India defeated New Zealand by 53 runs in the 24th match of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 last Thursday and secured a place in the semi-finals. With this, the picture of the four teams reaching the semi-finals of the Women’s World Cup 2025 has become clear. Before India, the teams of Australia, South Africa and England had confirmed their place in the knockout. Although the schedule of the semi-finals has not been made clear yet, it is clear that India is going to play the first semi-final.
Team India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is currently at fourth position in the points table with the same number of points in 6 matches. Whereas India has to play its last match against Bangladesh. Even if Team India wins the match, it will be able to reach a maximum of 8 points only. England is third with 9 points, South Africa is second with 10 points and Australia is first with 11 points. This means that India will enter the semi-finals only by finishing fourth.
The first semi-final will be between the first and fourth placed teams in the points table, while the second semi-final will be between the second and third placed teams. This means that the date of India’s semi-final has been confirmed but the picture against which team it will be played is yet to be clear.
First Semi-Final – Team 1 vs India, 29 October
Second semi-final – Team 2 vs Team 3
The schedule of the semi-finals of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 has not been clear because the top-2 teams have not been confirmed yet. Australia, South Africa and England have one match left each.
There is a battle between Australia and South Africa to become number-1. At the same time, England is eyeing a place in the top-2. Australia’s next match is against South Africa. The team that wins this match will start its journey in the league stage by being at the first position. If South Africa loses in this match, then England will have a chance to reach the top 2.
