The Indian team are in a do-or-die situation when they take on New Zealand women in a crucial ICC Women's World Cup 2025 clash on October 23 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. With Australia, England and South Africa having qualified for the semifinals, one among India and New Zealand will take the fourth spot in the knockouts.
The Indians started their campaign with wins over Pakistan and Sri Lanka. But three consecutive losses against Australia, England and South Africa jeopardised India's plans in the race for the top four. On the other hand, New Zealand's only win in the tournament came against Bangladesh.
The Sophie Devine-led side lost to Australia and South Africa while two of their games were washed out. At this juncture, the India vs New Zealand has become a virtual quarterfinal with the winner taking the final place in the semifinal line-up. For India, a lot will depend on the likes of Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur.
The Indians are also in an advantageous position with a positive net run rate of +0.526 as compared to New Zealand's -0.245. Bangladesh are the only side in the competition to have officially been eliminated. Sri Lanka and Pakistan are expected to take the same route as well.
