Which teams can qualify for the Women’s T20 World Cup semifinals and how?

What do India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the other teams need to do in order to seal a spot? Al Jazeera breaks it down.

The race for the semifinals at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is heating up as all 10 participant nations enter the second half of their group-stage matches and look to climb up the points table.

After their huge win over Sri Lanka on Wednesday, India leapt up from fourth to second spot in Group A and removed the Asian champions from the reckoning.

Sri Lanka are already out of semifinal contention; their final group game against New Zealand on Saturday is inconsequential.

In Group B, debutants Scotland also made an early exit after losing all three games. On Sunday, they will attempt to finish the tournament on a high with an upset of their much higher-ranked British rivals, England.
