The Women in Blues have emerged victoriously over Ireland and hence have booked their tickets to the semi-final in the t20 world cup. Earlier in the tournament, India locked horns with Pakistan, West Indies, and England and was able to secure victory over the initial two but faced a defeat against the English women. However, the loss didn’t affect the strong Indian team much, and with one more victory over the Irish women, they punched their ticket to the semis.

Smriti’s incredible knock helps India to win with ease

Smriti Mandhana’s incredible knock primarily helped his team to achieve victory with relative ease. She scored an outstanding knock of 87 of 56 balls which included nine fours and three sixes. No other woman was able to stand strong; hence Smriti’s vital knock led India to a defendable total of 155, with the loss of 6 wickets.

Though it would have been a clean match if rain interference wouldn’t have been there, with the DLS method, Ireland was needed to score 60 in 9 overs, but India limited them within 54 with the loss of 2 wickets. With this victory, the women in blues will next be seen in the semi-finals, and their opposition is yet to be decided.

Will India be able to reach the finals?

India has been doing well thus far in the world cup, with several players serving efficiently for the women’s cricket team. Talking Shefali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh, and Deepti Sharma have been doing well, and it is expected that the women in blues will clear their path toward the finals and will hunt down the trophy too. However, it is to be seen who are the opponents they face in the semis. On the other hand, Australia has also reached the semi-finals and is all set to create their way to the final showdown.
