Congratulations to India for winning the match.

Congratulations to Harmanpreet Kaur for winning the PoTM award.

So, it all boils down to India's win against Australia. That keeps everyone on their toes.

Cheers..

We can still be hopeful if we lose on Sunday if newzealand loses atleast one match out of the 2 remaining...

if Australia loses today, it will be an unexpected twist and make things more uncertain but will also present a chance to knock kangaroos out if nz wins their remaining two matches n India beats kangaroo too...

But the most going by probability, india loses to kangaroo(sorry 😔) and nz wins their remaining matches.. then india wont qualify...but really hope either india stuns kangaroo or else atleast kiwi loses to lanka or pak..
